Boys Will Be Boys Contest


Well, well, well, if it isn't all of my friends in the Pawn Kingdom! Thanks for stopping by today to my little blog (which I hope you'll share with your friends by the way). Today I want to talk to you about the Boys Will Be Boys Contest I'm currently running.

Now - you all know how much fun the Pawn Princess for A Day Contest was. (Or at least I hope you do, because if you didn't know about it or get involved, let me just say, you sure missed out!) Last month we spent a couple of weeks pouring through all the submissions of the adorable little princesses out there while you guys all voted for them. Then from all of the eligible entries we drew a winner! That little princess will get an expense paid trip with her mom to Edmonton and a luxury weekend for the both of them. Plus they'll get to hang out with meeeeee!!! (We all know that's the real prize here, right?)

Anyway, that was so much fun we figured we'd better give the boys something to compete for as well! No one loves a competition as much as men do- so boys, this one is for you! Post a picture of your best father-son duo (or could be stepfather/uncle etc). Once your entry gets 10 votes you'll be automatically entered into the drawing to win an expense paid trip to Edmonton with accommodations at the Fantasyland hotel, admission tickets to the great attractions as West Edmonton Mall, and a $500 spending spree (plus lots of other REALLY COOL STUFF). Don't wait! Share this link, submit your photo, and get voting!

Good luck guys!

Gearing Up for May Long



Hello friends in the Pawn Kingdom! It's your esteemed Pawn Princess here just dropping in to check up on you as you make your plans for the May Long Weekend! Ah, that May Long weekend. If any long weekend was a breath of fresh air, it's this one. It seems to me that no matter what is happening or what the weather is like, somehow the May Long Weekend always seems to have a knack for truly signifying the start of summer. I want you all to enjoy your upcoming long weekend so much, so I'm here to give you some great tips.

Book Those Campsites Early

There's nothing worse than discovering on Thursday or Friday night that the place you want to camp is completely booked up. So do yourself a favour and book a site today! Many campsite will take payment over the phone, so you can be sure to secure your spot in advance.

Staying Home? Make it a Productive Weekend!

If you're not going camping but are going to stick around the city for May Long, use the extra time to get some stuff off of your to-do list. You'll feel so good about yourself! Set aside part of one day - Saturday, Sunday, Monday, you name it - and commit a few hours to finishing a project that keeps nagging you. Then you'll be able to enjoy your weekend knowing you made the most of it and you won't have that mental strain of thinking "I SHOULD do this" because you'll have already done it!

If You Need Cash, Find Some Items to Pawn!

Maybe you're planning to do some home repairs, perhaps you want to head out to the lake and get a great campsite, or maybe you're doing a road trip! Whatever it is that you plan to do on the long weekend, if you need some extra cash to get ready for it know that we're always here for you and would love to help you out and get you the money you need so you can really make the most of your weekend.

Think of Cash Canada When Shopping For Your Supplies

We probably have everything you need in store for an amazing long weekend - whatever your plans may be. We have lawn equipment if you want to do lawn care, we have tools, we have sporting equipment. Do you need a tent? A BBQ? Whatever you need, there is a pretty high chance we have it either at your local store or at the Sales Centre. So make a trip down and let the treasure hunt commence! You'll get a better deal at one of our stores than anywhere else, and you know that's the truth!

Pawn Princess for a Day!

It is my firm belief that every girl deserves to be a princess for at least a day. As a professional princess myself I can tell you that nothing is more exciting than putting on that long shimmery gown and touring the Pawn Kingdom in style. It truly is an experience like none other and that's why - once a year- I like to invite a mom and daughter duo to come along with me. I love seeing the excitement and the experience through the eyes of a child.

This always brings me to a certain conundrum: how will I decide just who to bring? I love everyone so much that it is impossible to narrow it down to just one mother daughter team. And so, I have devised a contest. All you have to do is upload a photo and when it receives 10 likes in the voting category, it will be automatically entered into the draw.

You could win an entire mother daughter getaway which includes transportation to Edmonton, luxury hotel, breakfast in bed, and a limo tour of the pawn kingdom.

Tell everyone you know and get involved! It is my favourite contest of the year and I just want everyone to take part. Enter here: http://woobox.com/gfjedu
