Carrie Hassler: Pick 2 Update
Yesterday we started the Carrie Hassler & Hard Rain promotional in coordination with the release of their latest recording CHHR2.
Mark Roberts of WearBluegrass.com pointed out that one of the prize packages included tickets to a festival this Saturday, while the promotion won’t end until next Wednesday.
We checked with Wichita about borrowing his Time Machine for the winner to use, but it’s scheduled for some maintenance time in the shop. Apparently Smarty drools a lot…
Accordingly, we updated the promotional prize package with tickets to a festival that ends after the promotion ends.
The two festivals included in the prize packages are now:
- Cumberland County Fair – Crossville, TN – Aug 22, 2008, at 8:00 PM
- Pickin’ in the Panhandle – Hedgesville, WV – Sep 6, 2008, All Day
The original post has been updated to reflect this change. Check there for details about other prizes included in the giveaway, and instructions for entering to win.
