I enjoyed this contest very much. There was a large panel of judges, and many entries got at least one vote. In the end, the top choices were clear.

Karen has won two tickets to the Sagebrush Classic Feast on July 18th in Bend! The proceeds for this event benefits Central Oregon children and families. I’m happy to support this good cause. Tickets are still available, you can read all about the event at sagebrush.org
I just wanted to express my gratitude for this prize. My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time at the feast! The setting, music, weather and — most of all — food and drink were superb. It was a wonderful excuse to get out of Portland and go off the diet for a day. Thank you to the judges and sponsors.
Great! I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the event. When I saw how hot it was, I wondered how the event would be.
Looks like we will run the same sort of contest next year.
