Sorry Highbeam. I'm working on that problem.
Soupy, I was thinking the fellow was from NH who won but don't remember for sure.
btw, an interesting thing happened just before the drawing. Several of us were talking and it was brought to Tom's attention that there was a little girl who had been helping a lot that day. Inside, if she saw someone who had not been waited on she would rush around to find someone to help. She also told some folks they could take a tour of the plant. I guess she really worked hard at this and nobody had even asked her; she just did it herself. She also was playing music along with the fiddler.
So, Tom and some other folks (including my wife) headed inside to try to find her. As they did, the girl came out the other door so I hollered at my wife. They got her over there and the next thing I knew Tom was asking if she would like to do the drawing. That was really nice and that little girl has a great future. I do believe that her father works in the production area but I'm not sure.
Hello dennis! First, the gentleman that won our stove is from Mass. Second, and most importantly, thank you! Mikeh showed me this post this morning. Dare I say, I could almost feel a tear forming. Why you may ask? The little girl you speak of is my fiancés daughter, KATIE. I'm not her biological father, nor technically "step father" but I'm still very proud of her. This is her second open house she has been to, and she picked the stove winner last year as well. You're correct in saying no one asked her to do what she did but she was happy to do it all the same. She truly can NOT be thanked enough.
When I got home this afternoon and showed her the copy mike gave me, she thought it was "totally cool" that someone remembered her!
So again, thank you dennis for making my day! Hope to see you again next year.
