Who would like Dinner/comedy theater for eight in Niagara Falls?

[dragerman]

Just recently I had submitted an entry to Niagara Contest and won a third place prize for a $100 gift certificate towards a local merchant here in Niagara. Fist place prize was a new furnace (installed), 2nd was a fridge and stove. Unfortunately (depending where you live) the contest was only open to Niagara residence.

 

Well, they’re hosting another contest and this one is open to whoever wants to apply! All you have to do is to write a little blurb about ‘What you are doing to beat the winter blahs’! Submit your stories and 'you' will have a chance to win!

Stories will be published online and will not include any personal information (name, phone number, email, addresses, etc) and will be assigned a contest number, they will reply with your entry number. I have talked with Walter, the CEO of Shop Niagara and he has informed me that you do not have to live in Niagara to submit an entry. So who better to write about "Winter Bla-ahs" then motorcycle enthusiasts!!

 

Simply go to www.shopniagara.ca and click on ‘CONTEST’, it’s near the top right of the page. Once you’re there click on ‘Contest rules’ and it will give you details such as prizes and contact information for any questions. First prize is dinner for eight at ‘Oh Canada eh’ (dinner theater/comedy). Get your stories in, have some fun with it and good luck!! Perhaps you’ll win and the weather will be nice enough to ride in to beautiful Niagara Falls with your scoot to claim your prize!

 

You folks in the 'sunny south' might struggle a bit with this!

After moving to Niagara Falls the first thing I did was to renew my passport. I really like being able to make trips over the border for shopping, motorcycle trips etc. and feel as though I have the best of both worlds.

 

Truth be known, whenever I've been in the States I've always felt at home, borders and passports are merely a formality. So apply for your passport and get your butt up here! Enjoy a bit of what we have to offer... this is your home too! Life is good and if I win I’d like you to join me, cheers, now let’s eat and have a few laughs!

I hope some of you were able to get your stories in, the dead-line for entries is on Feb 28 and the winner will be anounced on March 3. The odds of winning are pretty good!
