The Adventure-a-Thon is Here – Day 2 Recap

 

We’re back with Day 2 of the Adventure-a-Thon, hosted by Yours Truly and Gill from Realweegiemidget Reviews. We have more wonderful posts in store for you today, but first, a quick reminder, in case you missed it… 

Contest Reminder: As an added “thank you” to those who have contributed posts to the Adventure-a-Thon, I will be hosting a contest in which one lucky blogathon participant will be randomly selected to win a brand-new, all-region Blu-ray copy of the Ray Harryhausen’s timeless adventure classic, The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad (1957). Please read the following contest rules, if you would like to be considered for the giveaway: 

1.     Please email me if you wish to be considered, at: barry_cinematic@yahoo.com, with the following info:

·       Your Name, Blog Name

·       Your answer to the following question: “What’s your favorite Ray Harryhausen movie?” Note: Although an answer is required for eligibility purposes, stating a Harryhausen title different from The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad will not increase or decrease your chances of winning. Responses will be compiled and posted when the winner is announced during Monday’s wrap-up post.

2.     Eligibility is limited to blogathon participants only (you must have submitted a blog post to win).

3.     Sorry, the contest is only open to blogathon participants in the U.S.A, Canada, and Mexico.

4.     Good luck!

If you’ve signed up, but your post isn’t quite ready, fear not. We’ll post your link on Day Three or the bonus-day “Wrap-up.” Post a comment below, email me at barry_cinematic@yahoo.com, or reach me on BlueSky (@barrycinematic.bsky.social), Instagram (@barry_cinematic), or Twitter/X (@barry_cinematic). You may also contact Gill by commenting on her post, through her blog’s Contact Me page, or on Bluesky (@realweegiemidge.bsky.social).
