More free Stuff!!!!
It’s free stuff time again.
I love doing the occasional blog where I just get to tell people about some of the free stuff promotions I have heard about. Labor Day weekend is a good opportunity for a few of those. If you know of any more, please share them with our readers.
Free bowling - Saturday, Sept. 5, marks the final day of National Bowling Week. The bowling industry is trying to make history by having thousands of bowling centers nationwide take part in an effort to set a new world record for the most bowling games rolled in a single day. Right now the record is 548,721. The Bowling Center at 3250 N. Church St. will be participating in the promotion. Just come during the regular business hours of 9 a.m. to 1 a.m. to receive a free game. Shoe rentals still are $3. For more information, call 252-446-9557.
Free chicken - To kick off its annual football game, Chick-fil-A restaurants nationwide will offer a Chick-fil-A Chicken sandwich to any customer wearing any sports-related apparel on Monday. The promotion goes from 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Chick-fil-As at Golden East Crossing mall and Cobb’s Corner. All you have to do is have some type of sports logo on your hat, shirt or other apparel. Limit one per person.
Free children activity - From 9 a.m. to noon on the first Saturday of every month, the Home Depot at 950 Home Depot Plaza, Rocky Mount, has a free workshop for children ages 5 to 12 to teach them do-it-yourself skills and tool safety. In this month’s workshop, which happens Saturday, the children will build bean bag toss boards. The materials are supplied for the children, and they even get to wear little child-sized orange aprons like the Home Depot employees.
Free chicken - As a special note, the Chick-fil-A at Golden East Crossing mall is running another promotion where you can score some free food. If you eat at the restaurant Thursday, Sept. 10 and keep your receipt, you can bring that receipt back any day in October and get the same order free.

At Down East Hearing Care, we always offer FREE Hearing Tests! Our Specialist, Victoria Bottoms, would love to have anyone with a hearing concern come in for a FREE screening. Hearing is one of those things that we often take for granted, especially when we are young. If you care for your hearing before you notice any hearing loss, your natural hearing may last longer. Just a few little tidbits to help along the way…wear hearing protection-when hunting(or target practice)-motorcycle riding-working around loud noises(especially for prolonged periods)…wear swimmer’s plugs while swimming…NEVER use a Q-tip in your ear (we have pulled out some pretty “hairy” stuff left behind by Q-tips), you ears clean themselves naturally every 2 wks. (when you feel like something is crawling around in your ear)the skin and wax falls out of the ear at this time…your hearing loss could be caused by something as simple as a wax-build-up,you must see a Hearing Specialist or your Health Care provider to determine if that is the cause,even hardened wax can be removed safely by a Hearing Specialist or Health Care provider…and parents make your young drivers keep that radio turned down so that they can still hear background noises such as horns blowing, people screaming, etc. Last but not least, get your hearing tested yearly and get an ear screening at least every 3 months (hey-its free if you don’t need a cleaning) Our # is 252-442-3335 Have a great day!!!
