Prizes, Prizes, Prizes!!
First, I want to thank everyone who participated in our Article Contest. I know putting oneself out there is not always an easy thing to do. They say that public speaking is the 2nd biggest fear in the world next to death. I think that’s part of why I haven’t done any official Advice and Beans Youtube videos yet.=) (Though I do plan to in the coming weeks!) But you all did great, and I am honored you took the time to enter. I had some great email exchanges with many of you, and I learned a lot I didn’t know before. And a special thanks to Don, the first person to ever write me an email about the blog as well as entered our contest. I never even knew if anyone was there until he said something!=)
Because we had fewer folks participate than I estimated, I’m happy to announce that everyone will receive a cash value gift certificate to the store! (Of course, if someone wants some cool stuff from the Gear Department of Advice and Beans, let me know and I can do that instead! I have things like messenger bags, camp showers, paracord, drier lint and the like in the Gear Vault.)
Prizes were assigned using a random number generator (Basically, I rolled a die. I used to play D&D when I was younger, so I have all sorts of many-sided die hanging around! Yes, geek, me.)
So without further ado *Drum roll*, the winners are:
$250 – Laura
$150 – Tessie
$100 – Alan
$75 – Don
$50 – Tim
$50 – Rob
$50 – BKB
$50 – Teresa
I will have your gift certificates attached to your email addresses in the store by Tuesday morning so you can go shopping! Again, thanks everyone and a big round of applause!
