November 2, 2009 | Contests
Is there any greater gift to a parent than a happy, occupied child? I say no.
Yesterday’s giveaway reminded me that I have Taft Brown’s new CD, How Now Brown Cow, here to give away. But then I thought, if one CD is good, let’s go with the “more is always better” thing and dig out a few other items I have on hand. So, the winner of this contest will receive Brown’s CD in traditional packaging, as well as the following (which come in little plastic cases without any liner note type thingies, because I received them as promotional items): The series premiere of The Fresh Beat Band on DVD and their 4-song sampler CD, the Wonder Pets! prime-time special “Join the Circus!” on DVD, and the series premier of Olivia (two episodes) on DVD.
Basically, it’s a sampler of viewing and musical awesomeness for the anklebiter set. Five discs of fun.
Want to win ‘em? First go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. Eastern (that’s 8:59 p.m. Pacific) on Wednesday, November 4th, 2009 to be entered. Winner to be determined by random number generation and ability to knick knack paddy-whack.
Ready? Go!
