View Full Version : Send me daughter a postcard, please?

My 7-year daughter is putting together a display for the local fair that she hopes will feature a postcard from each of the 50 states. I figure, through this forum, I might just have all 50 states covered!
Would you be willing to send her a post card? I promise she'll send a very cute thank you in return!
States we already have covered are the AZ, FL, MA, NY, OR, WA.
States we think we are going to have trouble with are North Dakota, South Dakota, all the Northeastern/New England states (except we have Massachusetts) and Utah. But all states are needed.
PM me for address and such.
Thanks guys!

I might be able to get you a PA one, maybe an amish buggy or covered bridge one.
Let me know when you have to have it by and I'll see if I can get around to picking one up.
you know whats funny? Because of all the fear of being bombed I somehow don't trust anything anymore.

Oh, definitely personalize them if you would, write on them, tell a story, whatever you feel like doing. It'll be a lot more fun if we get cards with character.

I sent a PM to Rich seeing if he can get the PA postcard I was supposed to send.
I spent the last couple of days after work driving around to gas stations and drug stores locally and can't locate any. It is blowing my mind.
Anyways I feel terrible it's not on the way yet.
If I don't hear back from Angus I will see if I can just order one online and send it straight to you.
so sorry for the delay, I had no idea it would be this hard.
I live kinda in the middle of nowhere, that may have something to do with it.

I may be able to help with N. Carolina as well. My dad and daughter are heading back to his place in the N. Ga mountains from Ohio and will be passing thru N.C. shortly. I've asked them to swing thru the welcome stations on U.S. 40 and see if they can find something. I'll let you know if they are able to help out.

Haha must have been. More than anything it was the fact that I looked at all of the local places and couldn't find a post card. I thought my family might have some but that was a negative. I even searched gas stations, walmarts, targets, etc. but couldn't find any dam postcards. :td I'm just glad someone else took my place and was able to help him out as I felt bad about not being able to locate any.

My friend in Colorado said they sent it, have you not received it yet?
I'll double check but I don't think so. They have taken longer than a week in some cases so it may still be on its way.

I mailed mine last Monday. It better be there.
Not yet, but I am sure it is coming.

I wouldnt think it would take a postcard that long to get there, but it is the government so who knows.

My wife and daughter started putting it together today, it is looking great. That doesn't mean it is too late to send them though for those still looking to send a card.

Are we going to get a picture of the finished product or presentation? Or atleast all of them laid down on a table or something? :tu

I had my wife and daughter tearing the bags from our trip apart. They can not find the cards. Let me know if they showed up I know they where put together but I dont remember mailing them. I am off in the morning tomorrow and will look all through the mail to see if it got misplaced.

I am guessing it is to late to send you a GTMO post card? I cannot wait to see the finished product, this sounds really cool.

He meant that the O.P. never posted a picture of the display as he promised those who were so generous to participate. ;)

I was wondering if I missed the post showing the display. I realize we sent him the postcards back in August. I do not remember ever seeing the finished project though.
Thanks.

Guys, very sorry for not following up on this, I can't believe I didn't post the photos. So, here they are!
Thanks again to everyone that helped, very few people provided return addresses but I have ways of finding those.
Due to display limitations we couldn't feature all the postcards on the board but they all were displayed on the table (as you can see in the photo below, we set it up at home first).

For everyone else, we're buddies from our local B&M and Ted's a good BOTL. I'm sure he had every intention of posting the pics as he said he would.
