L-R: MoonPie’s Vice President of Marketing, Tory Johnston and Sarah Darling

Country music rising star Sarah Darling and MoonPie’s Vice President of Marketing, Tory Johnston announced the ‘“Home to Me’ Sweepstakes” and partnership with the Tennessee-based national brand today.

The Black River Entertainment recording artist will be featured on several hundred thousand cartons of the nationally distributed Chocolate 12-count Single Decker MoonPie.  Available at all four MoonPie General Stores, the item will also be carried nationally at grocery outlets including Bi-Lo, Harris Teeter, Ingles, Food Lion, Food City, Piggly Wiggly and many other chain and independent grocery stores.

“MoonPie and country music go pretty much hand in hand,” said Tory Johnston. “We believe Sarah is one of country music’s next big stars and we’re excited to feature her on-pack and give our consumers a chance to win a dream trip to Nashville to watch her perform at the Grand Ole Opry.  You could say we’re expecting the moon and the stars to align on this one!”
