Giveaway: Southern Women's Show tickets!

By Faye Prosser

Posted: March 2, 2012

It's the first Friday of the month, which means it is time for a giveaway! How would you like to attend the Southern Women's Show with a friend this year...for FREE?! Up for grabs are four sets of 2 tickets!

To enter to win one of the four sets of tickets: Leave a comment below telling us what you enjoy most about the Southern Women's Show. If you have never been, let us know what you hope to see at the show.

I will randomly pick the 4 winners on Tuesday, March 6 at 12 noon. I'll post the winning usernames soon after noon. Good luck!

I'll be teaching a coupon class at the show once on Friday and once on Saturday. On Sunday, I'll be on the cooking stage with cookbook author, Lisa Shively, whipping up a frugal dish and chatting about meal planning in our game show/cooking class called "Let's Bake a Deal!". With a title like that, you know there are some fun prizes involved! I will also have a booth at the show all weekend. Look for the WRAL booth and you'll find the Smart Shopper/Go Ask Mom booth right next to it.

This year's big display is Royal Dresses of Diana, The People's Princess.

As always, the show has fashion shows, shopping, lots of food, free samples, coupons, cooking shows, celebrity guests and so much more!

I have been a couple of times with my mom and best friend. It is a lot of fun! The samples are great and looking at the crafts is fun too!

I have never ever been to the Southern Women's Show but surely would love to go! Since I am unemployed it would be a nice break to get to go this year and for free would even be better.

I have never been and would love to see everything, especially to get new ideas to help keep me young!

I have been several times with my daughter and have enjoyed the exhibits and makeovers. This year looking forward to seeing the Dresses of Diana, and of course visiting the WRAL booth.

I have not been, but would love to take my sister who is a single Mom and doesn't get many opportunities for special outings like this. We would enjoy learning about all the things out there for women, and especially enjoy the opportunity to meet women entrepeneurs - both local and across our state - as we like to "buy local" whenever possible.

I haven't been for a few years. I always enjoy the cooking shows. This year I'd love to go to maybe see about makeup and makeovers. I am looking for a job, as where I worked closed. A fresh start would be nice, I am no spring chicken, but not ready for the grave by a long shot!!!!!!!.

I enjoyed spending the day with my three daughters last year for their first trip to the show. They enjoyed makeovers, sampling the food and checking out the perfumes, jewelry and purses. I'm looking forward to maybe seeing the Princess Diana dresses, planning to encourage my mother to come along!

What's not to like - free samples, great food, and shopping all in one place! My daughter and I would love to go. She has never attended and I'm sure she would enjoy it.

My daughter and I have never been to this event and we are really looking forward to the activities listed. I excited about the presentations and free samples. She so excited about the shopping and presentations. Can't wait.

This would be my first year going to the show and what a nice treat if it is free. I can't wait to see the People's Princess Gowns of Lady Di, the fashion shows and cooking shows, do some shopping, eat lots of food, take advantage of the free samples, get some coupons, and see celebrity guests. I may have to go at least two days to get it all done.

I would love to go. Went several years ago with my sisters and my mom and had a blast. The best part was trying on wigs!!! We were having so much fun, we even drew a crowd! It was the most fun we've had together. Good luck to whoever wins. Enjoy yourself!

The Southern Women's Show is wonderful, I've gone several times. Its great for girlfriend bonding, better than mall shopping because there is so much entertainment and education along with fabulous finds. Fun.

Every year I look forward to the Southern Women's Show Where I usually take my girlfriends Rather than my beau.

We shop for accessories, fashions, and home decor too. We get our makeup done, watch cooking shows And even meet a celebrity or two.

Wine tastings, snacks and sweets galore Freebies, contests and coupons... What more could a girl ask for?!

My mother and I try to attend every year. Sometimes we bring other friends with us also. We go to see what's new, what's in, and try new products. We always find something that we "can't live without", and have our makeup done to keep us up to date.
