Your Kid Could Be a TV Star by Riding Sandy, Meijer's 1-Cent Mechanical Pony

All photos submitted in the Michigan-based superstore's contest will be entered to win $100.

If your kids are always bugging you to ride Sandy, the iconic mechanical pony at Meijer stores, a 1-cent investment could make your little darling a star or yield you a $100 gift certificate.

The Michigan-based superstore is looking for pictures of kids riding Sandy – or older pictures of adults back in the day – for use in a television commercial. Every photo submitted will be entered in a drawing for a $100 Meijer gift card.

To enter, go to the Meijer’s Facebook page and upload a photo.
