Adventure-a-Thon Banner - The Rocketeer

Whew! We’ve finally reached Day 3 of the Adventure-a-Thon, hosted by Yours Truly and Gill from Realweegiemidget Reviews, and what a batch of posts we have in store for you. We’d like to extend a big thanks to everyone who’s joined us, so far. We couldn’t have done it without all of you! Be sure to return tomorrow for the Wrap-up post, including my announcement of the winner of the Seventh Voyage of Sinbad Blu-ray! Psst… There’s still time to enter the contest (see rules below). If you’d like to enter the contest, please respond no later than 8 am (Pacific Time), Monday, May 5th.

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!
