CONTEST: Peeps Take Over Mountain View!

Upload your photos of the places these marshmallow wonders visit around the city. Share and you could win a Patch prize!

PEEPS, those famously delicious and delightful marshmallow candies, aren't just for eating anymore.

Nowadays, around Easter, communities get creative with how to utilize these cute and sticky concoctions.

Last year, I took a few of my PEEPS sightseeing around Mountain View and took photos of them at Rengstorff Park, Fire Station No. 1, City Hall and For The Love of Dance studio.

This year, I'm sure PEEPS will be hopping around the city. I wonder where they'll bounce to next?

This is a really fun activity to do with the kids, while on a walk with a loved one, or if you are on a coffee break. Hint: photography apps could make the image more realistic or fun. Also, clear tape and even toothpicks could help too.
