One of the things I have read about in several of the older books, and cannot locate any new information on, is the National Contesters Association. I can only find three references to it on the internet: an article from Time Magazine published in 1940 called Contesters’ Holiday and two postings by Monika Gordon on Contestandsweepstakes’s Weblog called Who is Everett Lane? and Who is George Hill and Helen Hadsell?
Whatever happened to the National Contesters Association? As recently as 1982, they had chapters in 45 U.S. states and an annual convention. How can a group so large just disappear off the radar?
The 19th Annual National Sweepstakes Convention will be in San Antonio TX this year, but it is not being run by the National Contesters Association. It is being hosted by The Lone Star Stampede Sweepstakes Club.
