Book Give-Away!

In honor of the Florida History Fair (see info below), and to encourage kids of all ages to learn more about Florida's lighthouses, I'm giving away a free, autographed copy of Florida Lighthouses for Kids. The 58-page softcover book was published in 2004 and is chocked full of neat stuff about all the lighthouses in the Sunshine State. Drawing will be held May 6th, 2014, the same day as the awards ceremony for the Florida History Fair.

To enter, send your name and address and a short statement about why you're interested in Florida lighthouses to:

Cat in the Window Press

P.O. Box 1022
Seabeck, WA 98380

All entries received will be placed in my lighthouse cookie jar (minus cookies of course!), and then I'll ask someone special to blindly draw out the winner on May 6, 2014. I wonder who that special person will be? The book will be mailed to the address on the winning entry by mid-May.

And, don't forget to attend and participate in the Florida History Fair!
