How Would You Get an Olympic Gold?

This contest has ended. Congratulations to our winner - Millie Cagle! Thanks for all the great entries!

It's 8pm and where are you? If you are like me, you are sitting on the couch, glued to the TV watching the real-life drama and heroics of the 2008 Olympic Games unfold right before your eyes. No doubt about it, the Olympics are a big part of American - and worldwide - culture. When that time rolls around, it seems everyone gets in the spirit. Here at Brighter Minds, we are definitely in the spirit as well. There is nothing we love more then to watch the athletes show off their special talents as they compete for the gold medal. Or in Michael Phelp's case, breaking world records.

We want to know, what is your special talent? What are you great at? What would earn YOU a gold medal?

Leave us a comment or email us (amandaf(at)brightermindsmedia(dot)net) telling us what activity would win you the gold medal, and you'll be entered to win a Marvel Heroes Prize Pack!

This set of three interactive storybooks featuring all your favorite Marvel Super Heroes may not be as prestigious as a gold medal, but it sure is more
fun to play with!
