Hey, It’s A Quick Favor

Posted on 10.15.2008 by Goob in HIF News

Over the past few months Hey, It’s Free! has been featured in various newspapers, radio segments, and local news broadcasts. These pieces have brought with them new readers and more freebies, not to mention a source of entertainment for myself. The only problem is I typically have no idea when Hey, It’s Free! is featured in such a piece!

So I have a quick favor to ask. If you’ve recently read, heard, or seen Hey, It’s Free! in a news segment then please let me know. You can either leave a comment here or contact me privately and just say “I read about HIF in The Springfield Shopper” or “I saw HIF on KBBL last night.”

Consider such a kind act as your eternal freebie to me in exchange for all the wholesome goodness I try and provide every day :) Thanks!
