I must be a glass half full type of person because right now, the day after Independence Day, I'm thinking the summer is only half over and I still have a vacation ahead of me and pretty soon after that it will be football season I'm even optimistic enough to think the NFL labor situation will be resolved in time to begin the regular season as scheduled.
Just in case you were wondering, the glass half empty perspective would be that we're less than halfway through the Central Texas summer heat, there's quite a few people taking vacations or at least vacating town for a while so things are slow, and there's a distinct possibility we don't even have Dallas Cowboys football to look forward to until mid-October, if then.
But if you are of the latter opinion, then here's something that might help turn you around. There's still plenty of time to enter the "WacoFork It" contest. We haven't settled on a prize yet, but just assume it's going to be awesome.
To take part in the "WacoFork It" contest, follow these simple steps:
- Step 1: Click here to download the "I WacoFork Waco" PDF file.
- Step 2: Print it.
- Step 3: Go somewhere interesting with your shiny new "I WacoFork Waco" sign and take a picture of yourself with the sign in that interesting place. (Be creative!)
- Step 4: Upload your photo to your Facebook albums and tag WacoFork in the photo. You have to like us on Facebook before you can tag us (not our rule, that's just how Facebook works). If you don't have a Facebook account, you can email the photo to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
You have until Labor Day to take the most interesting photo you can get. We'll collect all the photos in an album on our Facebook page. Your official entry for the purpose of voting will be the photo that appears in our album, not the one in your album. After Labor Day, we'll open the voting.
Obviously, the photo with the most votes (likes on Facebook) will win the contest and the loot, which is yet to be determined. When we determine the loot, we promise it will be the kind of thing that makes you say something like "Oh, man, I can't wait for (blank)day. I'm going to (blank) because I won a (blank) from WacoFork! Woohooo, (blank)!" We not only allow, but also strongly encourage begging, pleading, enticing, coercing, and even bribing all of your friends to "like" your entry to increase your chances of winning.
