Hey Jim,, any update on who won your various contest's during the anniversary?

Sorry folks, been getting ready for NEMROC and a new release... The winners were selected early last week. I can't post them until I contact them first.

I will make a point of doing that before the end of the week so that we can close out our September events and look towards NEMROC and the holidays!

I barely find the time to finish one project let alone as many as you have going,so my hats off to you Jim.

It isn't me, didn't have time to place an order

WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

(finally... )

I apologize for the delay in getting this out sooner. I got so wrapped up with classes and NEMROC that, frankly, I just couldn't get to it.

Well, that's all fixed! I have contacted all 20 winners and am waiting to hear back from them. Remember, the way these contests are run is that the 1st place winner of each contest gets to pick any rocket kit we offer. That kit is then removed from the list and the 2nd place winner can choose any kit from what is left, and so on.

And the winners are.... !

For the Anniversary contest (entrants from orders and birthday wishes) are:

1. Patrick Eldrige
2. Kenneth Rosser
3. Ian Christie
4. Charles Freeman
5. Charles Hanson
6. William Blekites
7. Stan McKiernan
8. John Tolppi
9. John Buscaglia
10. Mark Wilkowske

For the Anniversary Photo Contest:

1. Michael Meyers
2. Michael Jennings
3. Jon Chrisman
4. Craig Zicafoose
5. John Partridge
6. Les Bradshaw
7. Steve Kristal
8. John Bergsmith
9. Greg Rapp
10. Ron Wirth

Thank you to everyone who helped us make this a most exciting 6th anniversary! Now on to our 7th year!

All of you should have received an email from me. I would ask that the 1st place winner contact me soonest with your prize choice so that I can contact the 2nd place winner, and so on.

It is much appreciated.
CONGRATS!

[n3tjm]

I didn't win . Guess who is getting moved to the bad boy list :kill:

Lol jk

 

[cmmeyers]

I didn't win . ....

That's OK. If you had been a winner, the way Jim had the prize table laid out, when the time came to choose your prize the only thing left would have been a Midnight Express!

 

[AKPilot]

I'm telling you the contest was rigged - rigged I'm telling you. I heard there was chad still hanging on those ballots. LOL!

Looks like I better purchase my Christmas present from him, eh?

 

[Pantherjon]

Well, as soon as the two Micheal's in front of me make their choices....

I have my eyes on a couple of possibilities..hopefully they will still be available!(insert fingers crossed icon here)

[Peartree]

Sort of off topic and totally improbable, but does anyone know where Charles Hanson (winner #5) is from? I used to work with a client named Chuck Hanson up near Minneapolis (LONG before I took up rocketry as a hobby). Is there any chance it's the same guy?

 

[foose4string]

I emailed my prize selection on Friday evening, Oct. 17th... the same day I was notified that it was my turn to choose.

I'm sure things are moving along fine, but I just wanted to post an update from my end.

 

[jflis]

Just got a reply from the photo contest and am waiting for one from the other contest. More in the morning as I am crashing tonight... It's been a heck of a month...

[cmmeyers]

Jim,
I would like to express my thanks as well. My US TOG arrived yesterday.

[Peartree]

Jim's generosity is exceptional. Who has a birthday and gives gifts to his guests?

Thanks Jim.

You're a class act.

 

[jflis]

You are all most welcome. I got tied up with the B&GC for most of the day (end of the current session and getting ready for the new one - the main office is having me help set the upcoming classes...) and I haven't gotten the latest emails out. Tomorrow for sure!

Jim
