It is our VERY FIRST GIVEAWAY! We are very excited to share this opportunity with you guys! (Thus all of the exclamation points!!) The Central Florida Home & Garden Show is coming up next weekend (March 22 – 24) at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. This is the place to go for innovative products, ideas, practical advice, and over 250 experts in one place. Friday is “Hero Day” with free admission for retired or current members of the military.

We will be going on Saturday, March 23rd to watch the demonstrations, get our hands on those fancy new-fangled tools, learn some DIY tricks, taste some delicious samples (chefs from local restaurants will be peddling their edible wares – yes please!), putt for prizes, enter contests, etc. There will even be a Pet Pavilion for all of your furry friends’ needs.

The “key note speaker” will be going on stage at 12:00 p.m. and again at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday. Heck, we might just stick around for both sessions. Who wouldn’t want to see this face twice?

Sorry, ladies, that is the largest picture I could provide. My apologies that it is so small. Feel free to enlarge it. Or make it your screensaver (who would do that? Just me?)

In case you don’t know (??) this is Jason Cameron of the DIY Network’s Man Caves and Desperate Landscapes fame. No, I’m not swooning. It is just, um, really hot in here. OK?!

HERE IS THE BETTER NEWS. We have four (4) free tickets to give away!

HERE IS THE BEST NEWS. The winner of our tickets (and us!) are automatically entered in a random drawing to win a meet and greet with James Cameron, as well as VIP front row tickets to his Saturday stage appearance. I don’t know about you, or The Boy, but I would really like to win that!

So here is how it works. I downloaded this Rafflecopter thing, and I hope I did it right. Here are the four ways to enter:

1. Like Pardon Our Sawdust on Facebook (1 point);

2. Follow TheGirl_POS on Twitter (1 point);

3. Tweet about the giveaway (2 points); or

4. Leave a comment below, telling why you would want to meet James Cameron (keep it CLEAN, please, our mothers reads this. Oh heck, they might be the ones I need to be most concerned about! Keep it CLEAN, Moms!)

The winner will be announced on Wednesday, March 20, 2013. I will announce and email as soon as the giveaway ends, so people can make their weekend plans. Also, if coming from the Tampa Bay area, and want to carpool, that would be possible.
