April 9, 2021: First Ever Facebook Group Decal Draw (31 Photos)

This month I decided to run my first ever Shed-Headz decal draw on our Facebook Group. Our Facebook group is used to share previews of upcoming articles here on the website and is a place where all members can easily share their own photos and chat in the comments.

I wanted to keep this draw simple and asked members to post their favourite outdoor adventure, or favourite rig/ride/machine, holiday, etc, no limitations. Participants could post as many pics as they wanted, all people who posted a pic received one entry into the draw for a custom cut vinyl decal pack. The contest ran for about a week and garnered over 38 replies which for a small group (by Facebook standards) was pretty darn amazing. For those of you who are not a member of our Facebook group, the link is always at the top of the main page:

Stroh was the first to enter the contest before I even managed to get my own demo picture posted!

My first pic was my father and what used to be his 1989 Argo 6x6 which he sold years ago, then I found, re-purchased then restored over the summer of 2019. This pic was from our Fall 2020 Moose Hunt where we successfully filled his first set of Moose tags after a much too long hiatus from moose hunting.

Andrew showing off his electric wheels which helped get him mobile again last year after his motorcycle accident. I'm happy to report that he is continuing to recover very well and is looking forward to the 2021 Moose Hunting season.

Teach them while they're young and they'll never forget! Mark submitted a pic of his daughter Piper who like her dad, very much enjoys ice fishing despite cold winter weather!

Next up was Nathan with "Pouch Cove's finest recovery rig" which was put into service after the snomageddon 2020 blizzard.

Matt tried to clinch the competition by sending in an awesome pic of yours truly frying up my crew favourite, marinated moose during one of our many 2020 moose hunts this past fall.

Sandra got in on the action with a panoramic pic of her bingo cards which have now reached bingo level: Crazy Ol' Lady!

This year Wes broke out the good ol' Elan for the first time in 18 years and headed into the shack for a rip!

Rob has been working hard on the restoration of his childhood '84 Honda 200m ATC and now has the bike back together and running! It's great to be able to pass on the awesomeness and experience of riding a true piece of history to the next generation!

This year Ron's daughter Amber is upgrading to a larger dirt bike as she has outgrown her KTM. This is her brand new 2021 Yamaha YZ85.

Next up was my worst stuck photo featuring Project Foreman. This pic recently won first prize on Ostacruiser's Facebook Page: worst stuck photo contest earlier this year!

Janes sent in a pic of his beautiful 2018 Silverado Midnight Edition which currently holds the record as his favourite vehicle to date and the longest he's kept a vehicle to date!

Devon posted one of, if not his absolute personal best ice fishing brown trout. In either case it's a truly epic catch especially for Newfoundland Waters!

The draw closed at 8pm local time on Friday. I created a table assigning numbers to each separate contestant based on the order they posted their first pic.

I used a true random number generator to fairly pick the winners, after selecting the winner I decided to double down and draw a 2nd winner mailing out two prize packs one to each winner.

Rob Houston and Lee Tremblett were our lucky winners and were mailed their prize packs the following Monday. Congrats to our first ever winners who are some of the first to receive some of our upcoming new products which I hope to have for sale very soon. Thanks to everyone that took the time to post a pic and participate in the group which continues to become more and more awesome every day!

Cheers, MIKE
