Summer of Free Stuff has begun! Already liked, commented, and shared.
Great giveaway item to start. This is gonna be fun! 
Happy SoFS to all!
I lashed up the jeeps, GP-7 and GP-9 with my Trainmaster, and took it over to Facebook and pressed "LIKE" and even made a comment!
Even put a reminder in my COZI Calendar app to remind me to view on Thursdays in case I forget!

I didn't need my reminder. I remembered it at 7 am when I let the dog out. My computer desk is right beside the basement door. I will still keep my reminder, just in case.
Well I said before I knew nothing about Facebook, I did try and got a Facebook account set up, it was pretty easy. Just to test it out I found my wife on it and did a "friend request". She calls me and says "What are you doing, checking up on me"? I said no, I'm just setting up an account to try to win free stuff from OGR. "Yeah right", I had to show her the thread for her to believe me when I saw her later. Now I think I really know how Scott Smith feels when he tries to sneak another engine past the wife. I know she didn't believe me at first but had to wonder why I set up a Facebook account after I had been dead set about ever dealing with Facebook. Looks like it took OGR to get me to go to the dark side. Darth Vader I am here! LOL!
Gary...I love your story above!! WOW...what a testament!! Thanks so much..
Alan
that was good I laughed at it

HINT...This week's giveaway could be a blue item...or should I say a "Blu-Ray" item?

Ben please send us a message so we can get your address. We're only TWO days away from doing this again, we hope you'll join us this week!

Hi Notch 6 ---
When we get to Facebook, what are the steps to enter the Sumer Giveaway?
Hi Gary,
We do the give away every Thursday. The way to enter changes each week. Some week we ask for you to answer a question, sometimes trivia, sometimes we just pick a random fan. Check with the Facebook page on Thursday morning and you'll find out what we have planned for this week.
Congrats to you Ben!!! Thanks for participating..
Alan
Ben...choose the Blu Ray!
HD video looks REALLY nice compared to old-fashioned standard definition video.
Well another week of the OGR Facebook Summer of FREE Stuff is in the books. Congrats to Malcolm aka Brother Love on picking up the AmeriTowne post office. We'll be back Thursday morning to do it alllllll over again. We hope you'll join us then!

Whoops! I forgot this is Thursday! Thank you very much for the reminder, Alan!!
You are The Man!!
Just a quick reminder that the Summer of FREE Stuff is going on right now on the OGR Facebook page. Today we're asking for your O gauge disaster stories. One random poster will receive an AmeriTowne George's 5 and 10 store. We'll select a winner Friday morning, so there's plenty of time to go over and get involved.
Here's a quick update on where we are at with the OGR Summer of FREE Stuff. This coming Thursday is the last week for the contest! This Summer is flying by and it's hard to believe that "Train Season" is not that far away. The prize for the last week is a good one. We'll be giving away the Great Layout Ultimate Collection. That's a four disc DVD set. Thanks to everyone who's participated so far. We also have a few unclaimed prizes, so check back on our Facebook page to see if you've won. Thanks and we'll see you on Thursday for..... The Summer of FREE Stuff!

Alan,
It was a fun contest. Thank you.
I enjoyed it, and was surprised to see my gondola and load featured a few weeks ago. Looking forward to up coming events.

Brian,
I agree one hundred percent. I have gotten to be good friends with my cousin in Seattle via Facebook. I haven't seen him in person since 1962!
Thais galore on FB, model and real ones. I agree give it a try.
