The whole family is invited to pair up and create their favorite pairings for pears for a chance at $5,000!

The Pear Bureau Northwest’s “Perfect Pairs” promotional program is a consumer focused program taking place at participating retailers throughout the United States during the month of February 2010. Since USA Pears can be paired with a wide range of food items to create wonderful taste combinations, this contest invites consumers to tell us their favorite food or food item to eat with pears. At the same time, it enters the person into the “Perfect Pairs” contest. The rules for qualified entry are:
