Blog Entry 74 of 91 The Happening

Steve Shultz here. I am a YourHub.com staff journalist based in Douglas County. I used to write a lot of news stories for the weekly print editions for Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock and Parker, but now I'm mainly focused on the layout and design of said newspapers. In between putting your great stories, blogs, photos and events into the print editions, I will blog about some of the stand-out submissions I see on the Douglas County Web sites –- Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock, Parker, Lone Tree, Castle Pines, Roxborough and Franktown –- and any other topic that piques my interest. If you’re new to YourHub.com, I encourage you to sign up and start your own blog. If you have any story ideas in your community you’d like to share, send me an e-mail. And drop me a comment in the comment box –- bloggers feed off feedback.

Memo to YourHub.com users

Article Contributed on: 11/29/2007 2:51:24 PM

Do you like Indiana Jones? How about sports? What about holiday lights?

Well, if you do then please read on. my boss asked me to share this memo with you all. So here you go.

MEMO TO THE STAFF

Hey everyone,

We have a couple promotions going on and I was hoping you could get the word out to our users that they have a really good chance of winning some prizes if they enter.

Indiana Jones DVD collection

We put together a last minute online Indiana Jones promotion that hasn't seen much traction due to timing. We are asking readers to post a story about their greatest adventure, whether it be high in the Rocky Mountains or in the grocery store parking lot. Including photos is strongly encouraged.

Two winners will receive The Adventures of Indiana Jones - The Complete DVD Movie Collection. The box set includes Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Unless a large number of entries get posted near deadline, anyone who enters this contest will have great odds of winning.
Tell them to post their story here.

All entries are due by Dec. 14, 2007. Winners will be notified by phone or email on Dec. 17, 2007. Standard Denver Newspaper Agency contest rules apply.

Nuggets and Avalanche tickets

Here is another last minute promotion that has some absolutely amazing prizes. We are asking users to tell us about their favorite holiday memory.

We'll pick one winner who gets either two tickets to five Denver Nuggets game or two tickets to five Colorado Avalanche games, their choice. We are also throwing in a game jersey. Details for this contest can be found here.Users can post their stories here. All entries must be posted on YourHub.com by Friday, Dec. 21, 2007.

Holiday lights

There is nothing really to win in this promotion except all the glory and fame that comes along with being the Clark Griswold of your neighborhood.

Seriously though, this is a great tradition of highlighting the houses with the best holiday spirit across the Front Range.Ask users to post their address and photos of their light displays on YourHub.com by Dec. 6, 2007, and their house could be highlighted in YourHub.com and Rocky Mountain News'special lights coverage in the Dec. 13 print editions. All photos posted on YourHub.com through the end of 2007will be visible to everyone who visits the Web site. Tell them to click here to share their address and photos.

Now back to work.


Thanks,

Travis

As someone who has won one of these contests (Blue Man Group), I highly suggest that people enter. Even if you don't think that you've got the BEST story, you might just be surprised...
