Beaded Tail Ties Lucky Lady With 8 Right--Congrats!

Congratulations to Beaded Tail who has just entered yesterday and tied Lucky Lady for the lead winning a free autographed copy of "My Funny Dad, Harry." Today is the last day of my book contest and Beaded Tail just entered yesterday with 7 right answers and got another one right today so ties with 8 right. The contest officially closes at midnight tonight (Eastern time) so there's still opportunity for one more winner to sneak in.

I enjoy reading about Beaded Tail's cats and dog and am sure my dad would have enjoyed this blog too. All the answers will be posted tomorrow.

Lucky Lady In The Lead--All Alone!

I only got one entry from Lucky Lady, also a cat lover, so thought I'd ask her a few questions that may encourage some others to try:

1) How did you discover this blog and what made you decide to participate in the Father's Day Contest?
I found your blog from surfing and I loved it- I do love a challenge and I think Harry seemed so neat that I want that book

2) How much trouble did you have coming up with 8 correct answers so far?
I worked my fanny off-reading but having fun

3) How many answers have you actually found on this blog or did you just guess?
So far, all on the blog but I am stuck now

I just thought people would guess but she has actually scoured my blog to find her answers! What about you? Don't you want to give it a try? Click here to Go To Contest.

UPDATED 5/27/09: I know it's not June 1 yet, but I see no point in making Lucky Lady wait any longer since no one else has even entered this contest. I mailed her an autographed copy yesterday. There is still time to enter and if you can get 8 or more answers correct, you too can win! (Limit 2 more winners) Answers to the contest will be posted June 1.

Father's Day Contest: Who Knows Harry Best?

Who knows my funny dad, Harry, best? Who will be the first with the most correct answers to my dad's ten favorite things?

UPDATED 5/22/09: Lucky Lady got 8 correct answers and is our leader since she is the only entry so far. Hint: the search box may help. Why not give it a try?

• Just send me an email to spunkydoodle@sbcglobal.net with your answers so others can't copy from you.


• The winner will receive a free autographed book, "My Funny Dad, Harry."


• The first three who get all 10 right before June 1 win. Winners will be announced as they win.


• If no one wins by June 1, then Spunky Doodle, dad's kitten that I adopted, will pick a winner from those who have tied with the most correct answers.

(This way the winner can get the book in time for Father's Day if they reside in the U.S. and the runners up still have time to order it--overseas may take longer.)

What was my dad's favorite . . .
Zoo animal?
Food?
TV show?
Pastime?
Cat?
Magazine?
Book?
Drink?
Car?
Store?

I will be updating this post as I get entries and will list the leaders as we go along. Why not do it--you have nothing to lose and you may win a free book!

What are your favorites?

(Another chance: Red Pine Mountain is also running a book giveaway contest for my book through June 12. All you have to do there for a chance to win is leave a comment saying you'd like to. She loved the book and it was her idea to help promote it. She's my blogging buddy! You may want to wait to see if you win here first since my contest ends June 1.
