Old West Festival--GIVEAWAY!--CLOSED

This contest is now closed.  Congratulations to Will kykayakguy for winning 4 free tickets to the Old West Festival!  Thank you to everyone who entered.  Please stayed tuned for other giveaways, menu ideas, recipes and stories about my life that will surely amuse you.  If you did not win tickets here, check out the Old West Festival's facebook page for discounts and giveaways.  And, watch I'm Living the Good Life on facebook for other blogs featuring giveways to the festival.


Howdy partner!  How would you like to step back in time and experience a Dodge City gun fight on the dusty roads of.......Ohio?   After the gun fight, you could mosey on down to the Longbranch Saloon for a cold beer or a sarsparilla and then go panning for gold. 

Yes, you read that right.  Just 15 minutes from I-275, east of Cincinnati, there is a permanent old west town full of cowboys, gunfighters, cancan dancers and more.  Come join them Saturdays and Sundays September 10th thru October 9th.  I am happy to be partnering with the Old West Festival to offer one lucky reader a FREE FOUR PACK of  tickets to this fantastic festival.  Children under 5 are free.

"Visitors will be stepping back in history to a time when famous lawmen like Bat Masterson and Wyatt Earp reigned, where gamblers such as Doc Holiday played faro and Boothill was a place you didn’t want to be at the end of the night."  http://www.oldwestfestival.com/


At the Old West Festival there are costume contests daily, gun fight re-enactments as well as antique, western-themed and hand-made crafts.  Youngsters can pan for gold or be sworn in as deputies before catching a ride on 19th century steam locomotive inspired Sante Fe Deadline.

DETAILS:  There are two ways to enter to win this family 4 pack of tickets.   With each entry, please leave your email address.  A winner will be chosen using http://www.random.org/ at 10:00pm on Wednesday August 31, 2011 and posted on this site.  If the winner does not respond within 48 hours, another winner will be chosen. 

HOW TO ENTER:  You may enter this contest TWICE!  Here is how:
1)  Leave a comment below (with your email address) telling me who you would be if you could go back in time to an old west town.  Cowboy?  Outlaw?  Saloon owner?  Hey, I know there are some entrepreneurs out there!
2)  "Like" BOTH the Old West Festival on facebook AND I'm Living the Good Life on facebook and leave me one comment that you did this.

Make sure you leave an email address with both of your entries!



Disclaimer:  My family and I received tickets to the Old West Festval along with tickets for this giveaway.  Thank you Old West Festival!
