Just in time for the World Series, Bob Scott of Robert’s Jewelers in Southold has another contest to fan the flames of baseball fever on the North Fork.
The contest is one day only and takes place today, Tuesday: Customers can purchase anything they like in the store. Then, whoever picks the correct number of games each team will win in the World Series, where the Mets and the Kansas City Royals will face off, will receive a 20 percent off gift certificate.
And the fun doesn’t stop there: For the 23rd year, Scott will once again unveil his “Winter Snowfall Madness” contest this year, a favorite for customers for decades.
Customers could possibly win big: If it snows three inches or more, as measured at the closest National Weather Service Office in Upton, on December 31, January 1, January 2, or January 3 from 6 p.m. until midnight — customers can choose a day when shopping at Robert’s Jewelers — Scott will refund those who’ve chosen the lucky day with 100 percent of their purchase price, except for sales tax, on items bought between November 20 through December 24.
The last day when customers can pick their own date is December 21; customers who shop through December 24 will automatically receive December 31 as their date.
Scott said the contest always inspires good cheer during the holiday season — and said his business, along with the contest, brings him great personal joy. “Number one, I love jewelry,” he said. “Number two, I enjoy people. And after 40 years in the business, the contest creates excitement. You can’t pay for the neatness of this, or the anticipation. It’s just a fun, fun thing to add to buying new jewelry.”
And, he said, if customers are going to spend money, “It’s nice that they shop here and this gives them an opportunity to get it back.”
