We’ve notified the lucky winner of our first giveaway — a signed copy of Wildwood by Colin Meloy and Carson Ellis — but if it wasn’t you, don’t despair. There’ll be other giveaways in the weeks to come, and anyone who donates by the deadline will be entered to win.

So what’s the next giveaway? Donate any amount to Wordstock through the WW Give!Guide before midnight on Black Friday (November 25, 2011 11:59PST) and be in to win a book, a baseball cap and a beer! One lucky winner will get an autographed copy of Daniel Woodrell’s latest book The Outlaw Album, a 650ML bottle of Chatoe Rogue Dirtoir Black Lager, and a Wordstock baseball cap.

Plus, anyone who gives us $35 or more before midnight on December 31 is entered to win a free night at The Ace Portland.

Thanks to generous folks like you, the Willamette Week Give!Guide’s Clear Creek Distillery giveaway on Thursday was a big success. Between 12:00:01 am and midnight on November 17, people used the website to donate over $65,000 to local nonprofits. How wonderful is that?
