TheHulk Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Did you get the two from FL? One had the Sunshine skyway bridge on it, and the other had Finding Nemo. (Since you mentioned Dorthy. Lol) I put them both in an envelope and mailed it out to the school.
disneygurlz2s Posted October 28, 2008 Author Posted October 28, 2008 ^^ I did see the Nemo one! Â Like I said, with them pinned and stuck to the board, it was impossible to know which ones were "hers" and which were (the paltry few!) the other kids have gotten. Just kidding. Seriously, I consider it great luck that I happened upon TPR several years ago because I have always just been such a huge theme park buff and to take that interest and have it evolve into belonging to such a cool "community" is really awesome. Â Sam will never know any different, because the internet has always been a part of her life, but can you only imagine how much more difficult this project would have been when we were kids?? Â Sam did make a list of missing states, so here we go: Kansas, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont and West Virginia and Minnesota. Â Everybody have a great week!
Carnage Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I haven't even been able to find a place that sells postcards. Seems Waterloo, Ontario is hardly the tourist destination. Â Well, actually I did find some random store in the mall which sold random band postcards. But I didn't think AC/DC or Guns N' Roses would really scream "Canada".
ebl Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 "...can you only imagine how much more difficult this project would have been when we were kids??" (Shari) Â I think the Pony Express would have gone out of business! Â Seriously, I'm still trying to get one to you. My job just got extra busy, so I'll have to squeeze it in. Â Eric
BudtheWeiser Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Glad to see my postcard of Brighton's Pier's got there and I'm glad its going so well keep em coming people
aslinterpreter Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I saw mine from Missouri! I can send one out from Kansas also since we live on the state line. I will have to rack my brian to think of 2 facts about Kansas besides being the home of Dorthy and the worlds largest ball of twine! Â Jeffrey
TPDave Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I have mine ready to post (I know you already have a ton from the UK, but one more can't hurt  Dave
CoasterFanatic Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Catrina posting as Ted: Â The West Virginia card was mailed out last Friday, so you should get it sometime this week. Sorry for the delay!
Brandy524 Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I know Alabama is already covered, but I'm going to try to get one in the mail in time. My town is not really a tourist destination so post cards are not easy to find!
TheRapidsNerd Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 ^By the looks of the board, somebody beat me to it too. CTU? Scott? Brandy, you're new avi is great. Classic expression! Â The one I sent in was a picture of Space Shot with a white border. Didn't see it in the pics, but feel pretty certain it made it to the school.
the ghost Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Â You know that there are enthusiasts involved when there are two postcards from Indiana that are holiday world. The other kids are all like " screw skylines and views, there are awesome CCI's/ GG coasters to ride as well as an Intamin Plug n Play in Europe."
Mozart67 Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Am going out today to find something with Connecticut on it for you. When I went to FrightFest a little over a week ago, they didn't have a single postcard in the entire park, which was really irritating. You probably have a Conn. card by now, but I will do my best to get you one today! Sorry for the delay  Scott
spaceace12 Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 I probably would ahve gotten some regular Indiana cards, but I had two Holiday world ones sitting in my locker not being used.
AtlCoasterNut Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 If not mistaken, I think you have GA covered now, but I've got one in the mail to cover Atlanta & GA! (Covers the CNN center and a few tid bits of Atlanta). Â Brandon
Yeti762 Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Yay! I see you got the Kennywood one I sent! Cool! Â Glad you've had such success with this project!
thrillerman1 Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Hey Sammi, Â I have your postcard ready to go from the great state of Tennessee. I'll mail it out tomorrow. Good luck, and I hope you win! Â Mark ps...Maybe you can post some of the park/coaster related ones over in my Postcard Paradise thread.
HEADCHEEZ Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 I Didn't see mine on the board. Did My Las Vegas card make it? Â Anyway, Good Luck Sammi! I hope you win!
Roy56 Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 I saw that you need one from Oregon, I'll pick one up today and send one from Ptown tomorrow. I may not find a coaster one, but we definitely have some of that nature stuff around these parts.
jarmor Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 ^^ I did see the Nemo one!

Â Everybody have a great week! Still need a south carolina one? Im smack dab in the middle of it! And for some tounge in cheek fun I can try to get a Hard Rock Park one...lol
Moose Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Sam did make a list of missing states, so here we go:....New Hampshire,... Vermont   D'oh. I could have gotten both of these had I known about this a week sooner as I was in both for a wedding. Alas, I have no plans on heading back up there anytime soon.
zaneymon Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 YAY! Its cool to see the amount of support from everybody on the forums here. Â Just for the record the post card I sent to you was the only one i sent while i was in Japan!
TheRapidsNerd Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Getting close to time. Any word on what postcards have come in and if Sammi's class has won?
disneygurlz2s Posted November 14, 2008 Author Posted November 14, 2008 ^^^ THANK YOU FOR ASKING!! Â Shari (aka Mom) here... The Great State Race is over, and in the competition between Ms. Walker's Homeroom (Sammi's class) and Ms. Burlew's Homeroom, both the National and International winners were (as if there could be any doubt) Ms Walker's Homeroom, which got 45 of the 50 states as well as the larger number of international cards (sorry, I don't have a number, yet)!! Samantha will be enjoying a cotton candy party (perfect for a theme park fan, don't you think?) with her classmates as their prize! Â As of today, they had not yet taken the cards down, but we are hopeful that they will do that tomorrow (it's an inservice day) and that we will get all of Sammi's cards at or before her teacher's conference next Wednesday. When we do, we will give you guys a final count of how many she personally received, etc. Â And now, a word from our grateful champion..... Â Thanks so much. I am so happy I could cry. All we needed was 5 more states and the other class needed 10. You guys are the best. Â Sammi
thrillerman1 Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 YAY...Congrats Sammi! I'm so glad I and the rest of the TPR crew could help you win. Enjoy the cotton candy!
TheRapidsNerd Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 WooHoo! That's great news! Very happy for you all
