Weekend Activity: Save the Date and Ticket Giveaway For a My Little Pony Coronation

February 1, 2013 by 12 Comments

There’s a new princess in town, and she’s being crowned with the best of them:  Miss America, an Olympic gymnast, and a partnership with Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.

The Hub’s My Little Pony, Friendship Is Magic, the TV show is celebrating a special occasion.  In advance of upcoming episode “Magical Mystery Cure,” in which famous pony Twilight Sparkle becomes a true princess, the Hub Network is holding an invitation only coronation concert on February 9 in Los Angeles.

Located at a theater on the VA Campus in Westwood and starting at 1:00 PM, the concert will feature a sing-along screening hosted by Miss America 2013, Mallory Hagan, crowned Jan. 12, 2013, in Las Vegas and hailing from Brooklyn, NY. The event will also feature a special guest appearance by Olympic Gold Medalist Carmelita Jeter, “The World’s Fastest Woman” who won Gold in the 4x100m relay, Silver in the 100m and Bronze in the 200m races at the 2012 London Olympics.

I’m willing to bet there will some magical treats involved, too.

I have a package of 5 tickets to give away to one lucky family FIVE LUCKY FAMILIES!

Updated:  I have to close the contest Tuesday night instead of Thursday night because the seating arrangements are being finalized for this amazing event!  On the brighter side, I now have four more ticket packs to give away! Be sure to tell your friends to enter!

Just leave a comment here by 11:59 PM Pacific Time on February 5 and I will announce the randomly chosen winner on February 6.  Tickets will be emailed to the winner, along with directions to the theater.  One comment per family, please.

Look, I get it, it’s My Little Pony.  I have two little boys.  They like playing with all kinds of toys but this is not for them.  This is for your little girls who love My Little Pony and play with the dolls and watch the show.

So for you? For you and your little girls this will be amazing.  Even if you don’t go to the coronation in person, you can watch the episode at home and check out all the digital content including coronation-themed downloadables like crowns, coloring pages, activity sheets and recipes at hubworld.com.

FREE Movie Tickets For The Little Red Wagon

December 5, 2012 by 11 Comments

Free tickets to the first 5 commenters below.*

You know you need a break, Mom or Dad.  Short days at school.  Holiday parties for work, school, sports teams and friends.  Shopping, meal planning, Christmas-tree buying, and more and more every day.

What if you could haul your family to the Regency Theater and veg out for an hour or so while your kids watch a movie that will not rot their brains or make them want you to buy the toy that goes with it?  What if it inspired them to help others?  

Lucky for you, The Little Red Wagon is that film, and it’s playing NEXT WEEK right here at the Regency in Agoura Hills, AND I have 5 sets of tickets for my readers!

The Little Red Wagon is the story of Zach Bonner, a 12-year-old boy in Tampa, Florida who started a crusade to help children left homeless after Hurricane Charlie hit the area in 2004.  From getting food and water to very needy families, to walking from Tampa to the White House to raise awareness about homeless children, Bonner’s efforts have helped thousands upon thousands of children.  He now runs The Little Red Wagon as a nonprofit to help underprivileged kids.

The movie was produced by local filmmaker Dr. Michael Guillen, who has been making appearances at elementary schools to help spread the message that Bonner started 8 years ago.

I dare you not to cry during this movie. You’ll probably want to take a nap, but hopefully you will be moved to act, even if it’s just to take a bag of nonperishable groceries to a local food pantry to help our needy neighbors.

The first five people who comment here will win a four-pack of tickets to see the film during its limited local run December 10 – 13 at the Regency Theater in Agoura Hills. Just make sure you enter your email address so I can contact you directly and the tickets will be mailed to via priority overnight mail.
