Extra contest fun

By Mir

June 15, 2009

What’s more fun than one contest? Two contests! Or three! Or… you get the idea. I’m going to tell you about today’s standard contest—it starts today, and will end on Wednesday—but there will actually be another contest later today, a different sort of contest, so you’ll want to come back for that one as well. Yay for extra contests!

Okay, back to this contest. The fine folks at Build-a-Bear have put together a little package for the 4th of July—the winner will receive the brand new Patriotic Pup, an exclusive Endless Summer of Hugs beach towel, and a $25 Bear Buck$Â® gift card to spend outfitting your new friend. (And yes, it does all come in one of those cute Build-a-Bear boxes with the air holes in it. So adorable!) Sound good? Of course it does!

All you need to do for a shot at winning is leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. Eastern (8:59 p.m. Pacific) on Wednesday, June 17th, 2009 for an entry into the contest. Winner to be determined by random number generation and overall cuteness.

Hurry up and enter, and then check back for the next contest!
