The local radio station was doing a contest for the summer, 96 days of summer. Twice a day they would annouce "Be caller X". If you were lucky enough to be the right caller you won a gift certificate and a ticket to the radio party at the bar. Winners to the party had a chance to win a grand prize worth $10,000.00.
A few weeks ago my wife lucked out and was the right caller. She got a $25.00 gift certificate at a nice restuarant and her ticket to the party.
Two weeks later I got in as well. My gift certificate wa for a women's clothing store. GAH!
Last night was the party. We arrived at 5:30, if you weren't registered by 6:00 too bad for you. We register, watch them put our names in the ballot box, fill out the stub for door prizes and look for a seat.
They announced that through out the evening they would draw door prizes and a "Final 10" for the grand prize.
during the second set of door prize draws I won. This time a Gift certificate for home furnishings. As the night wore on I ended up being the LAST name for the big prize.
They called the 10 of us up on stage did the last of the door prizes. The wife won $100 certificate for rustproffing of a car, we don't have one.
Now the way the Grand prize was decided was all 10 names go into a bag. First person called draws a name and that person is out, pick your own name too bad. I was the 5 make pulled out. But I still got a parting gift......
$50.00 for any auto repair at a local garage. I still don't have a car
Hopefully my parents can use them before they expire.
