TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – What’s better than Fridays? Winning a great prize from the Army and Air Force Exchange Service’s Free Friday giveaway.

Airmen who follow the Exchange’s main Facebook page have a chance to win every week in 2018.

The Exchange plans to give away more than $28,000 in prizes on Fridays this year, including a Troy-Bilt EZT 54 riding lawnmower and a Husqvarna Z254 turn riding mower, both valued at $2,999. Other planned prizes include Briggs and Stratton electric pressure washers, Weber and Char-Broil barbecue grills and a Bel Air patio furniture set.

“Airmen and their families at Travis AFB work hard and the Exchange wants to help them get the work done at home and relax,” said Phonda Bishop, Travis AFB Exchange main store manager Phonda Bishop. “If you follow facebook.com/shopmyexchange, you won’t miss out on Free Fridays and it would be great to have someone at Travis AFB win one of these great prizes.”

In 2017, the first year of the Free Friday promotions, the Exchange gave away more than $15,000 in prizes to Soldiers, Airmen, military families, retirees and honorably discharged veterans.

Photos and descriptions of the prizes are in the weekly sales fliers viewable at www.shopmyexchange.com/savings-center/weekly-ads. Authorized shoppers can also sign up to receive the fliers via email.

To enter the contests, authorized shoppers simply post a comment with their name, city, state and local exchange to each Free Friday post at facebook.com/shopmyexchange. Entries made by 9:59 p.m. on the day of the posting will be entered into the drawing. Drawings are held on Mondays after each Free Friday giveaway.
