Everyone was so tired after four days of up early, sessions all day, winning prizes, having fun, and then chatting with friends late into the evening.
The Sunday morning session began with a pancake breakfast. Family and friends were also included in the feast. We then heard from This N That Sweepstakes Newsletter, Online-Sweepstakes (OLS), SweepSheet, Sweepstakes Crossing, The Sweeper Times, and SweepsU.
Of course, the talks were followed by; PRIZE DRAWS! Double draws!! As we did both the Saturday night draws and the Sunday morning draws. A lot of hooping and hollering went on that day.
As each volunteer team has two years to prepare, the 2011 convention location was also announced. It will be going to Fort Wayne IN!
The gold ballot drum was then handed off to Bob Mennell, lead volunteer for the 2010 Annual National Sweepstakes Convention and the convention officially ended.
We then headed back to the Vendor Room to hand out the vendor draw prizes. Unfortunately, with the throngs of people, I missed getting my picture with Mary Ann of Rochester NY who won my Lucky Basket, but I did get my picture with Bonnie of Masa, AZ who won a copy of my book.
It will be a long fourteen months until I see all my sweeping buddies again. I just may have to do a few road trips over the course of the next year!
Hi Carolyn,
Thanks for sharing your trip to the 20th National Sweepstakes Convention. Look like you had a great time. Wish I could have gone
Cindy
