The Roaming Gnome Has Competition from Apple Core Hotels' New Mascot, Appleton

Apple Core HotelsAppleton to get around as much as Travelocity's ubiquitous Roaming Gnome.

To get the fruity guy some love, the company is hosting an Adventures with Appleton contest, in which the winners will get Apple iPods, you know, to go with the whole apple theme. But don't take out your camera yet; this contest is just for the kiddies.

When you check into one of Apple Core Hotel's properties—the Red Roof Inn Manhattan, the Comfort Inn Midtown, The Hotel @ Times Square, La Quinta Manhattan and the Ramada Eastside—your little ones will receive a free plush Appleton doll. As you sight-see around NYC with Appleton, a Big Apple native, your kids can snap a photo of him in front of their favorite restaurant, park, shop or other spot.

The aspiring photographers then can upload the photos onto the contest website through February 28, when five winners will be chosen.

The judges are looking for originality, so get creative. Appleton has already been chilling at the Today show and grabbing coffee at Dean & DeLuca at Rockefeller Center. How do you like them apples?
