Abilene is very, very Pinteresting!
For the true webby nerds like myself, you’ve probably been pinning for the past couple years. Recently the social network, Pinterest.com has exploded. We got the ACVB on board back in January and recently decided to have a contest through the site. So far, we’ve been so pleased with the interactions we’ve had with all of you! Our contest, entitled “Abilene is very, very Pinterest-ing,” features exclusive Abilene prizes and experiences like an Abilene Zoo membership, a Perini’s Steakhouse gift bundle, an Abilene mini-vacay (complete with a 1-night stay at the Residence Inn by Marriot) , Primetime passes and much, much more.
To enter, all you have to do as a Pinterest users is re-pin the prizes to one of your personal boards. From those re-pinned photos, we will select a random winner for each pin and announce on Sept. 4th.
For those who don’t pin, Pinterest acts as a virtual pin board and allows users to organize and share any images they find inspiring online. People develop their own personal boards that can include anything from a desired outfit, appealing home décor, must-go travel destinations, mouth watering recipes and more. Each image pinned links back to a website online that further explores the image. My sweet mother LOVES to pin and she still calls CD’s floppy disks.
We think Abilene is very, very pinteresting. Do you?

Was just wondering if you ever have guest bloggers?
I love Pinterest and I love Abilene, so this makes for a perfect combo!
This is great! Thank you so much. Not only for the opportunity to win the fabulous Abilene prize pack, but also being able to follow Abilene on Pinterest
(I had no idea)! And of course now the blog.
Most of the time it is better to give than to receive, yet I would like to be on the receiving end this time 🙂
Thank you again!!!
Rebekah, Shoot us an email with an idea and we’ll see what we can do! Trish@abilenevisitors.com
