Treasure Hunt
It has taken a week, but I finally got one of the computers back online. Sorry, still no radio shows. Hopefully they will be back in 2 weeks. In the meantime I have devised a contest for all of my readers.
It will be like an open book test. The only problem you will have… where to find the answers. I will post questions and clues as to where the answers can be found. The fastest person with the closest answers will win. What am I giving away this week? My highly coveted, never opened deck of Farmall playing cards!
Your answers will have to be entered in the comments once I post the questions. All will be able to play including those in my blog roll. If you have never commented on this site, you will get a slight advantage by commenting on a post now. That way you will not have to log in once the questions show up.
The Treasure Hunt will begin Sunday the 7th of Feb. at 6 PM Central time. Make sure to refresh your browser if you don’t see the questions. Have fun,and Good Luck!
