Amercan Girl Keeps Bringing Newnan Girl Back to Alpharetta

Rachel Cox of Newnan will be back to Alpharetta after being selected as the winner of the ’s “Share Your Awesome American Girl Experience” promotion giveaway. Participants were asked to share an experience in writing, video or photo of their experience at the American Girl Store in Alpharetta.

Cox and her family visited several attractions in the Atlanta area during her spring break trip of 2008, but the highlight of her trip was a visit the North Point Mall, where she first stepped foot into the .

“Being able to walk around and see all the amazing dolls, clothes and accessories was a fun experience for me, but the icing on the cake was having lunch with my two favorite dolls who got their own menus and chairs,” said Cox.

Cox won a $100 gift card to the American Girl store, with which she purchased Julie, An American Girl doll whose life story is based in the 1970s. 

According to her mother, Samantha Cox, “Rachel walked slowly around the store and took everything in and then on about her fourth trip around she decided that she wanted another doll instead of clothes and accessories for the dolls she already has.”

Cox also won two tickets to see Kelly Clarkson and The Fray with Special Guest Carolina Liar at at Encore Park on Aug. 8.
