Fab Freebie: Maine Attractions

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

It’s a shame we can’t take any major road trips right now (thanks to our wee one) since this week’s giveaway has us itching to head north to Kennebunkport, Maine. That’s because Spaces Kennebunkport– the shop behind today’s prize- embodies just the type of comfortable seaside home accents that Sherry and I love. Never mind that we can barely spell the name… we still want to eat up everything in their store. Have no fear if you also can’t make it out to K-town. Spaces Kennebunkport has an awesome online shop and one of you is gonna win a $150 gift certificate to spend there. Score.="nofollow">

Kenne Four Grid

And not that we’re in the business of telling people how to spend their prize money, but here are some things we would totally snag for ourselves:

Kenne Our Picks

Wanna take home some of this beachy bliss? Here’s how to enter this week’s Fab Freebie (oh, and stay tuned for a discount code this Thursday):

  • PRIZE: $150 toward anything in Spaces Kennebunkport’s shop
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “MAINE ME!” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … since our giveaway sponsors reside in a fairly uniquely-named town, we’d love to know of any unique / weird / funny city names that you live in, have visited, or have noticed on a map (i.e. Love, VA; Bummerville, CA; Sweet Lips, TN)
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, June 2nd at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere in the USA
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

    I’m not sure how interesting it is but I live near Loveland, OH. and it has a castle no less! (I love the stuff from this store. It looks very cool!)

    We live a short drive from Santa Claus, Indiana where there are streets named Reindeer Drive, Jingle Bell Way, etc. The main attraction there is Holiday World, a holiday themed theme park!

    It’s not too weird, but we drove though Hutchinson, Kansas one year and had to stop to eat dinner. Hutchinson is my maiden name and I remember feeling like I owned the town or something!

    I still think one of the funniest place names is a state park we used to pass when driving through Kentucky – Big Bone Lick State Park. Cracked me up every time I passed the exit sign.

    Maine me! We always drove through Los Banos, CA on our way to the beach. Los Banos is Spanish for “The Bathrooms.” Our son’s giggles filled the car for a good half hour every trip. Good times.

    MAINE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I live in Tampa but what about Sopchoppy, Homosassa, Elfin, Howey-in-the-Hills, and Weeki Wachee, Florida (where they have a “mermaid” theme park where women wearing mermaid costumes breathe underwater with tube-like hoses). I’ve been to them all and they are all strange little places :-)

    I live in Mt. Pleasant, SC. which sounds fictional to me. Also, there are no mountains. There arne’t even hills.

    Right out side of here is a little town called Ashepoo.

    One of the suburbs near Cincinnati is Loveland, Ohio. I hear people will drive to the Loveland post office to send Valentine’s cards just for the postmark! Also, it cracks me up when cities have a foreign names, but pronounce it phonetically, sounding almost hick-ish. Examples are Versailles, KY (pronounced ver-sails) and Bellefontaine, OH (pronounced bell-fountain).

    I’ve passed by the sign for Big Bone Lick State Park many times and can’t help but giggle every single time. Apparently, it’s located in Big Bone, Kentucky which also makes me giggle uncontrollably, lol.

    I haven’t lived in any towns that are too funny, but I used to drive through Hometown, PA all the time on my way to school. I always thought that was funny,

    “where’s your hometown?”
