I’ve entered another contest

Welcome back!

I’ve just entered another contest and this time it has nothing to do with photography. This time it’s a drawing for a 3-day 2-night vacation package in Branson Missouri. I looked on the website of the people supplying the prize and discovered that they have seven different vacation packages: the Great American package, the Family package, the Titanium package, followed by the Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum packages. Most of them are 4-day, 3-night vacations, but the Gold and Platinum packages are 3-day, 2-night vacations.

The Gold package includes a 3-day, 2-night stay at the Clarion, and two adult tickets to Pierce Arrow and Mickey Gilley.

The Platinum package includes a 3-day-2-night stay at the Grand Oaks hotel, 2 adult tickets to Grand Jubilee, a $30 Red Lobster/Olive Garden Gift Card, a $1,500 coupon book and a $50 Tanger Outlet Shopping Certificate.

If I had to choose between the two, I’d take the Platinum package in a nanosecond, just because I really like seafood. ;)

Of course I’d also want to go see Silver Dollar City and shows like The Great Passion Play, Mikey Gilley, The Oak Ridge Boys, Bill Medley & Paul Revere and the Raiders, Titanic, Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum, Yakov Smirnoff, Bobby Vinton, and The Welk Stars Reunion. I wonder if it’d even be possible to squeeze all that into 3 days?

The sad truth, however, is that even if I win the drawing and could arrange transportation, I don’t feel comfortable leaving Granddaughter Number One for that long, so I’d probably have to hope I could transfer the prize to someone else.

That would make an awesome Christmas present or, maybe, a prize I could give away for a contest here.

Hrm…

    Good luck with the contest, with Christmas coming up you need all the help that you can get! I always enter online competitions in the hope of winning them (no such luck to date!) Although now I have taken to searching out the internet for only coupons and discount codes in the hope of saving a few dollars or 2. Saving money is something vital to our survival on the ever expensive planet earth. I might try a few competitions later on today; you never know when you might get lucky! Good luck with the competition hopes you win :)
