On April 24th, 1989, Massachusetts Governor, Michael Dukak, proclaimed the day as New Kids On The Block Day.
Today, NKOTB fans celebrate this day worldwide. And before you ask me how I know it's celebrated worldwide, I'm very much involved in the fandom, so I know lol.
NKOTB has released several stickers for Instagram stories, but I haven't been able to look at them yet. (Btw, it's hard to explain if you don't use Instagram, so you'd have to Google it).
The band is holding a Mega NKOTB Prize Bundle contest. Of course, I entered. The winner gets to attend Blockcon and the NKOTB Cruise (each with a guest), receives a travel voucher for the events, and receives NKOTB merchandise.
To enter, you share your favorite memory of NKOTB on Instagram, but you have to tag the band's account and use the hashtag #NKOTBDay. I entered through the fan page I run for the guys, so I'll add a link to it at the bottom of the post. No money is involved. No referral links. No voting or anything necessary. None of that. I'm just sharing it because I feel like it. No expectations, but if you could cross your fingers for me, I'd greatly appreciate it. I want to win this more than I've been letting on.
Anywho, the band also filmed a video greeting for us, and several tracks from their recent tour (Mixtape Tour 2022) were released on Spotify. I've been wanting them to release concert tracks for a while now, so discovering that when opening Spotify made me extremely happy.
I just finished my writing order, so I'll have to see if anything else has been released or whatnot. I'm also planning to make another post on my fan page, just because I want to.
If any of my fellow MyLotters are also NKOTB Blockheads - Happy NKOTB Day! Go put on your favorite NKOTB song, consider entering the contest, and enjoy the rest of your day/evening! :)

@AmbiePam Yep! They even put out an album together (aside from 1-2 new tracks, it's just a mixture of their originals).
Here's a mashup of their songs.

Good luck with the contest and enjoy the day. I had a family member who was a fan, but not sure if she's a super fan like you. We haven't spoken in years.

@tammys85 Which is amazing in and of itself. So, if you win, great. If not. no love lost. But, you can't win if you don't try.

Aw thank you. I don't expect to win, to be honest, but it didn't hurt to enter. All I had to do was share a memory that I most likely would've shared anyway. And Donnie liked the post (he's not judging the contest, he's just very interactive), so at least I got that lol.

@kaylachan Exactly. I figured I have at least a 0.01% chance of winning. If I don't try, I have no chance.
