:grin5: Congratulations to Your Grace (duchess), GracePap :grin5:

Grace was randomly selected as the winner of the Hersheypark Prize Package! Through a few seconds of online investigation, it was determined that the winner is an OLS'er!!! :toot:

From the release at www.hersheyminiconvention.com:

Congratulations to Grace P. from NY! She is the confirmed winner of the Hersheypark prize package.

Webmaster, Rob Nease, paid a visit to Grace's home (via landline) and surprised the avid sweeper who is a member of two sweepstakes clubs. Though the giveaway rules indicated that the winner would receive (2) Hersheypark tickets, he decided to throw in an extra pair so her two teenage daughters could enjoy a day at the "park" as well.

Grace was thrilled and could not believe that she won. Her name was selected randomly (via computer) using a system at randomizer.org. There were 396 entries into this giveaway, including those registered for the convention itself. Grace submitted (4) extra entries into the giveaway, and her 3rd entry was deemed the winning entry. (Submitted on July 21, 2007)

Congratulations Grace! Enjoy your day at Hersheypark!

Glad you had fun Grace! Did ya scout out some stuff for the Hershey Bonanza!?

[gracepap]

Just woke up from my nap! That trip wiped me out! LOL! I can only imagine how I will be after the mini convention! LOL!!!

I did go into Chocolate World and thought about the Bonanza but decided against it since there will probably be a bunch of things direct from there. But, I do go to the Hershey's Times Square store and I figured I would be the only one bringing things from that store!

Is the Bonanza definitely on Friday??? I might have to arrive on Friday then.....

[gracepap]

We did have fun! Now, we are turning around and driving back to PA tomorrow. Wish we were going back to Hershey but we are taking Steph to Penn State (university park) to look around for a college tour.....

[gracepap]

Here at Penn State. Great school! "We are....Penn State!" Loved the campus. Just ate at Quaker State wings and Lube (great wings) We are loving PA!

[kbsocial]

Ohhhh I :love: wings!! Bring some home for me!! :dance:

[gracepap]

Wow! Just got in the house about an hour ago. Went to SUNY/Binghamton to visit the college. Anyway, got in the door and there was a huge box from Patty! I completely forgot that I won a gift basket as well! What a wonderful surprise! Inside a pretty Hershey's tin was a t-shirt, various pens, lots of chocolate, a Hershey's bear, a keychain. I couldn't believe how nice it was!!!! I have got to get some sleep as the drive was LONG! More tomorrow! HUGS, Grace
