In our next three posts we’ll share a behind-the-scenes peek at how we created eight #PLAYSOUTHPARK installations (for under $300!). Don’t forget we’re giving away gift cards to eight people who post photos with the activations between now and 10/14. Check out our #PLAYSOUTHPARK highlight for details on how to play!
