Hello friends and family:
Well, episode 1 is in the books and it was a resounding success. Thank-you everyone for all your messages of encouragement and for taking the time to watch the show and vote. It means so much to our little family.
I am writing this post from my hotel room in London Ontario. I'm out here for the week at our company's head office for training so I've been trying to keep up with the excitement back home through e-mail, Facebook and various fan sites. One thing for sure is I can't wait to get home to my girls... just a few more days.
The following are a few items for
clarification regarding the show.
1. Want to
watch but you're in the U.S. or not in a broadcast area? I confirmed today that the first episode, in it's entirety, can be viewed at the show's website. Go to
http://www.myronahome.ca/I'm not sure if they are going to put all the episodes on the site but hopefully they will.
2.
Voting - How does it work? Following the airing of each episode go to
http://www.myronahome.ca/ and look for the voting tab. Here you will be asked to enter your personal information and will be able to click your vote for the YELLOW team. Voters can return to the website and place one vote per computer (IP address) per day. They track votes and you can only vote once per 24 hour time frame. If you vote throughout the week, each week, you should be able to submit up to 7 votes per computer. Each vote also works for you as an entry into a draw for a 2010 Ford Flex Limited... a nice little prize for some lucky fan. These votes are free. If you choose, there is a 900 number listed on the site that you can call your vote in but there is a $0.50 charge.
3. Are you on
Facebook? Show your support for team yellow anytime by joining the My RONA Home Facebook fan page found again at
http://www.myronahome.ca/. After just a few days there are already over 400 registered members made up of both YELLOW team and Blue team fans. You can comment on each show or simply give YELLOW a shout out.
4. How can you
help? Spread the word. Tell your friends, family, work colleagues, churches, neighbors and anyone who'll listen, to watch and vote. The show airs for the next 10 weeks on CITY TV from coast to coast on Sunday nights 9pm (ET/PT) 8pm (MT/CT). Feel free to share our blog.
Missed the show but want to vote anyway. Please do. Still want to see an already aired episode, you should be able to view it on the website
http://www.myronahome.ca/. I have also heard that they may be re-airing the previous Sunday's episode the following Saturday night. Check your listings.
5. When will we know the
results of each week's voting? Unfortunately, we won't know any of the results until the live finale in early December. It is a long time to wait but it sure will make the finale exciting.
6. Have a
question? Leave a message in our blog's guestbook and we'll either e-mail you directly or post a general answer.
Everything related to the show can be found by exploring the website:
Thanks again. Gooooooooo YELLOW!!!
