By Posted in - Travel Giveaway on November 2nd, 2012

[google1][pinit count=”vertical” url=”http://www.beersandbeans.com” float=”right”]

OK, we are only three days into November and we’ve got another great giveaway for you guys! This one comes courtesy of Radisson, who is celebrating its 50th anniversary, by giving away 50 rooms over 50 days.

Because we like to keep things simple here at Beers and Beans, we wanted to make this giveaway as easy as possible for our readers. So, all you have to do is answer this fun fact about Radisson Hotels correctly in the comments below, and your name will be entered into a drawing to win a free night voucher (you don’t have to purchase another night to use it) at a Radisson Blu or Radisson Hotel in North America.

Question: In what U.S. city did the first Radisson Hotel open?

As an extra bonus, you can get a second entry into the giveaway if you “like” our Facebook fan page. Just be sure to let us know you liked it when you leave your answer in the comments below. For those of you who already “like” our page (thank you!), just say so along with your answer and you’ll get the additional entry too.

Now, before you run off to search Google for the answer, I’ve got one more piece of information that may be of interest to you. As part of the Radisson’s 50 Years, 50 Days, 50 Rooms celebration, each day at 10 a.m. EST, the hotelier will reveal that day’s blogger (for example, we are the bloggers for Nov. 3), on the Radisson Facebook Page, which gives you even more opportunities to win a free night’s stay. The Radisson will be revealing a new blogger everyday through Dec. 10, 2012.

*Our giveaway will close on Nov. 10, 2012, 11:59 EST. We will draw the winner on the following day, so please make sure to leave a correct email address when you comment.
