Friends! It's time for an extra special, holiday-themed giveaway! In celebration of the magnificent re-opening of our partner museum Museum of the Great Plains, we are giving away a one-year family membership to Museum of the Great Plains, along with the OMN membership upgrade! (The membership is good for five members of your family, and the OMN upgrade allows the same family members entrance to our other four partner museums, as well!)

Entering this giveaway is simple--while we were down in Lawton, we happened to catch this candid photo of our friend, the Tenontosaurus. To enter this giveaway, simply comment on this post with your caption that answers this question: "What is Lady Tenontosaurus about to say?" One comment per person, and on Monday, December 21, we will randomly pick a winner from all of our comment entries. So, put on your Santa thinking cap, get to captioning, and good luck!
