"I just wanted to let you know what a great time my family and I had at Mickey's Magic Show on Friday night," wrote Jennifer Albers, a subscriber to our SmartParenting enewsletter who won four tickets to the Feb. 11 show and a Meet & Greet prior to the show with Mickey and Goofy, and emailed us to say thanks. "In the words of my 7-year-old son, 'That was awesome.'"

We want to give more St. Louis kids this awesome experience. We regularly hold ticket giveaways in our email newsletter, SmartParenting, and occassionally on our Facebook page.

So, if you're an enewsletter subscriber and a Facebook fan, you'll be the first to know about upcoming giveaways. It's always free to enter and we take your email privacy seriously. We choose one winner randomly from those who enter and notify you via email if you've won.

In this week's SmartParenting enewsletter, we're giving away a family four-pack of tickets to COCA's Holy Cow! on Feb. 25. Later this month we'll give away tickets to Disney on Ice and VIP passes to the Saint Louis Science Center that include free admission to exhibits and OMNIMAX movies.

On our Facebook page, our current giveaway is a family four-pack of tickets to Sunday's Alex & The Kaleidoscope Band Family Matinee at Off Broadway.
