Raven Maven Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 This contest, sponsored by Indiana Dept. of Tourism, requires providing a little essay. You guys are all (well, mostly...) good writers ... let's see one of you win! Details are here: http://www.holidayworld.com/holiblog/2007/07/please-make-him-stop.html Good luck!

ghost007jas Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I entered, and although I doubt I will win, there's always hope, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I'd enter, but after reading some of the fine print, I doubt I would have time to head up to Indiana to pick up my prize of a nice stay at IB or HW, a cheap MP3 player, a gift card to Circle K, and some camera. However, I'll try writing an entry here. Why I should win a Great Indiana Getaway Hello Indiana, I sit in a room with 4 walls and a window gazing out at the so called "paradise" that is Florida. There is one place I have always wanted to go to and that place was Indiana. I want to go to a place that is the setting to a Gene Hackman movie. I always wanted to cross a time zone and spit in Ben Franklin's face over Daylight Savings. I have also wanted to see rows and rows of corn paralleling the highways of your fine state. But the reason why I want to go to Indiana was for its good wood. Why I should win a Great Indiana Getaway is because I want to ride good wood at Holiday World. In Florida, wood is usually dry and boring. However, in Indiana, the wood is fine and healthy and doesn't seem like it is jacked up on Viagra. So, as I stare out my window looking at a lifeless Florida, it makes me yearn for a Great Indiana Getaway to ride wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryH Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Yes, Florida needs some good wood! The only good wood is the Dania Beach Hurricane. Triple Hurricane is pretty nice. Gwazi has gone to crap! I haven't been on the rebuilt Starliner yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verticalzero Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 If I won, I wonder if they would pay for my "air-fare" from England to visit the park and claim the prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willski Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Hey, just like a scholarship, but considerably better (it doesn't go to textbook money either). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
