I've heard they're doing contests for ticket giveaways on the radio and paper in my hometown. I kinda figured out part of that when I got an e-mail this morning from someone in the county with the subject "Vicki Lawrence contest" and them telling me they found her under the ad for Uncle Frank's on page 15, lol. I had to write 'em back and tell 'em that, uh, I have no idea about any "contest", I just wrote the article, lol.

So I wrote 'em back tellin' I didn't know anything about any contest ("I don't know nothin' 'bout no contest!"), said I simply wrote the article, and wished 'em luck, lol. Nothing any more odd, please! lol

Originally Posted By smedley Ahh ok, so this answers my question in the other thread lol! Many congratulations to you Byron, you must be really proud, may it be the start of many great things!
