eBrandon fifth anniversary giveaway
3/11/2010 at 9:02 AM
It's hard to believe, but FIVE years ago to the day on March 11, 2005 eBrandon signed on for the first time. It's been a wild FIVE years with thousands of local people signing on to buy and sell their used stuff, discuss local issues with local people and much more.
At the same time, the site wouldn't be where it is today without support from the business community and the hundreds of local businesses that see it worthwhile to advertise in what is a truly unique medium for a Canadian city. What better way to celebrate than for a few of those sponsors to participate by donating prizes.. and giving the many folks that make use of this site a chance to win free stuff!
Throughout the day today, there will be FIVE separate contests that give you FIVE separate ways to potentially win one of FIVE prizes/packages. Some will be very easy, some will require a bit of luck, and some might take a little more effort than others. Some will require an eBrandon member account, one or two might not. By the time the day is out and all FIVE contests have run, we will have given away over $700 in prizes.
Starting at 10 AM, a discussion thread will be started for the first contest.. a chance to win product from Tastees Ice Cream & Grill. Every two hours, a new discussion thread will be started for a particular contest with the final one being started at 6 PM (each previous contest will have closed before the next one starts). Following is the (approximate) schedule and who the prize sponsor is for that time period...
10 AM: Tastees Ice Cream & Grill
12 PM: Tan FX (with a little help from a wide-reaching microphone)
2 PM: Brandon Wheat Kings/Keystone Centre
4 PM: Precision Toyota
6 PM: Shoppers Drug Mart
The only stipulation will be that one person can win at most one prize package, and that a winner of any given package of course can't be employed by the prize contributor. Check back throughout the day and keep an eye on the front page active discussion topics list for details on each!
Good luck to all!
