1000 Fans Here to Party! *Giveaway

Last week something pretty cool happened for us: we gained our thousandth fan!

Now, some people may think that a thousand fans is no big deal.  And, maybe they’re right.  It’s sorta small potatoes in the Facebook-marketing-like-a-boos spheres.

However.

There is something different about our fans that makes us want to celebrate: engagement!

You guys give us feedback we can use.  You share your thoughts and everything from favorite ice cream flavors to best teachers in town.  And, you care about Frederick.  Almost, nearly just as much as we do.

And that is why we’re throwing you a party!

A giveaway party that will showcase some of our favorite places in Frederick and reward some of our most engaged fans for being ahhh-mazing.

Every day this week we will offer a $25 giveaway.  To enter you will need to respond to a question we pose by leaving a comment on the post.  You can get a second entry if you Tweet our contest out to your fans, tag us, and come back here to leave a second comment with the link to your Tweet (it’s extra work and that’s why it’s optional).

Winners need to be 18 years of age and reside in one of the following states: DC, MD, PA, VA, WV, DE.

All winners will be announced on Monday.

Also, we love you.

Ready to get started?!

It seems that The Tasting Room is a local fave among people who leave comments on our Facebook page.

Their central location combines with their perfect ambiance and tasty menu to create something Fredericktonians seem to dig.

So, we want you to dig it a little on us!

With a $25 gift card to The Tasting Room of course!

To enter:

  • Leave a comment on THIS post answering this question: Your out of town relatives are visiting Frederick and want to experience our tastiest eateries.  Where would you take them?  (You don’t have to say The Tasting Room but you can if you want to).

Extra entry:

  • Copy & paste this Tweet then come back and leave a link to your Tweet for us: I just entered @finditfrederick’s #1000Fans giveaway to win a $25 gift card to The Tasting Room! http://bit.ly/10g1N5u

Now, get to entering!  This gift card won’t spend itself!
