Confectionery Wonderland Candytopia Celebrates the Success of Newest Location with 500,000th ‘Sugar Rush’ Photo

The nationwide experiential phenomenon Candytopia continues its successful expansion with its sixth location at "The Hill" in Dallas. With sell-out crowds of guests finding joy at Candytopia sites since its launch in 2018, the mini candy theme park commemorated the Dallas opening with a new milestone: the delivery of its 500,000th immersive Sugar Rush image created by experiential marketing platform, Thinaire.

Created through collaboration between Thinaire and Candytopia, Sugar Rush uses state-of-the-art imaging, fantasy backgrounds and professionally focused lighting to provide guests with memorable photo keepsakes.

Thinaire created five Sugar Rush installations at the newest Candytopia location in Dallas, with guests able to commemorate experiences in several locations including a rainbow-filled room with flying unicorn pigs and confetti explosions, a chocolate river, and a swimming pool full of more than a quarter million foam marshmallows.

Candytopia is a one-of-a-kind, full sensory experience that features more than one dozen rooms with larger-than-life interactive art installations. It launched in 2018 in Santa Monica followed by successful runs in New York and San Francisco. The momentum has continued with the recent launch of Candytopia locations in Atlanta, Mall of America, and Dallas. Thinaire-powered Sugar Rush was launched with the Santa Monica site and has been a core component of each of the six Candytopia locations opened to date.

Photo-60 is offering a new way to turn old family photos into digital photos quick and easy with their new Prepaid Photo Scanning Box. Customers can have 1800 4x6 pictures be transferred to a DVD or USB stick for $199.95

For too long, the traditional method of keeping cherished family photographs was to keep them loosely in countless shoeboxes, albums, photo bins to be stored in the back of the closet to be forgotten forever.

Photo-60 has changed all that with their new photo scanning service, called the Prepaid Photo Scanning Box, which is basically a USPS Medium Flat Rate Box (top loading, size 11-1/4" x 8-3/4" x6") that you fill up with as many loose photos as you can from 2x3 up to 8x10. The USPS Medium Flat Rate Box typically can hold up to 1800 4x6 sizes prints. All those photos then get scanned into high resolution digital photos in either 300dpi or 600dpi (optional).

Chris Ariasaif, Owner of Photo-60 said: "We constantly heard from people that they had so many great old family photos that were going to waste in shoe boxes. Customers wanted to have them scanned for easy sharing, preservation or just to free up space but didn't have the time to manually scan thousands of photos themselves. The Prepaid Photo Scanning Box solution was our answer." Read here.

Developed pictures eventually experience fading or cracking, losing its original clarity. Photo-60 scans the pictures with a professional High Speed Kodak scanner at 300 dpi or 600dpi (optional) and puts the digital photos onto a DVD or USB stick.

How Pet Lovers Can ‘Pay It Forward’ To Help Homeless Dogs and Cats

When Marina Barton walked into the Best Friends Lifesaving Center in Mission Hills last July, she knew she wanted to open her heart and her home to two adult cats.

Since there weren't any bonded pairs, Barton fell in love with Barclay and Chance, two tabby bachelor boys, and hoped they'd eventually form the classic bromance.

Almost a year later, the two are best buddies who snuggle, play, and thoroughly enchant their mom. "It felt like a big risk that Barclay and Chance would get along, but they're inseparable now," Barton said.

What she didn't know that fateful day was that someone had paid for Barclay and Chance's adoption fees through Best Friends' Pay It Forward campaign. Upon hearing the news that her adoptions were free, Barton immediately opted to Pay It Forward herself. Click here to read the latest news.

"I was very excited to help out another cat besides the two I was taking home," she said. "I had chosen Best Friends because I believed they were helping as many pets as possible and Pay It Forward reassured me that I made the right decision."

Best Friends is asking pet lovers to help create happy adoption stories like Barclay and Chance's this weekend, April 26 to 28, just in time for International Pay It Forward Day on April 28. Each $25 donation will cover or discount the adoption fee of a homeless dog or cat from Best Friends or one of its Network Partners across the country.

"That means, with just one gift, you'll spread all the good feels to an adopter – and help a pet in need go home at the same time. It's a win-win," said Julie Castle, chief executive officer of Best Friends Animal Society.

More than 300 Best Friends' Network Partners are also running Pay It Forward donation campaigns during that time, allowing pet lovers to support their local shelter or rescues.To make a Pay It Forward donation, see a list of participating Network Partners, or find out more about Best Friends Animal Society, visit http://www.bestfriends.org.

About Best Friends Animal Society
Best Friends Animal Society is a leading national animal welfare organization dedicated to ending the killing of dogs and cats in America's shelters. In addition to running lifesaving programs in partnership with more than 2,600 animal welfare groups across the country, Best Friends has regional centers in New York City, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Salt Lake City, and operates the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals. Founded in 1984, Best Friends is a pioneer in the no-kill movement and has helped reduce the number of animals killed in shelters nationwide from an estimated 17 million per year to about 800,000. That means there are still nearly 2,200 dogs and cats killed every day in shelters, just because they don't have safe places to call home. We are determined to bring the country to no-kill by the year 2025. Working collaboratively with shelters, rescue groups, other organizations and you, we will end the killing and Save Them All.
