Last month we told you about the Bashas Donut Flavor Craze Contest and we have received word that the finalists have been named and voting has begun.
Bashas narrowed down the submissions to 13 finalists and I have to say, these kids are crazy creative!! The finalists range in age from seven to 13 and come from all over the Valley.
You can vote for your favorite Donut Flavor Craze submission now through May 29th at 11:59pm, which will help determine the People’s Choice winner.
