19th Annual National Sweepstakes Convention

Not open for further replies.
I'll send in my registration form in September or October - San Antonio is "just down the road apiece" from Austin, so I will go and my husband, Bob, will too (if I can persuade him - it won't take a lot :laughing:).

I am looking forward to meeting all of you, especially Ken and Diane (you are going, aren't you :headbang:)

Would it be a good idea - or not - to bring photos of the prizes that we've won? Maybe a contest to see the most outrageous win or the most poorly conceived (like that Obovo/diamond win)? Just asking....

Hope my husband and I see you there!!! :wave:

I would love to go, but it just isn't feasible with my kids and my husbands work schedule. I will have to wait until one is closer than that! Where is the 2009 one going to be at??? I think someone posted it before and that it is somewhere out west. I need one in the south!!! Nashville would be nice...
 
Don't forget, we can start registering for the hotel tomorrow-the 1st of Sept

Do we need to go ahead and pay the registration fee now?

Just wanted to remind everyone that Hotel Rooms can be booked starting this Friday (Sept. 21) @ Marriott. First come first serve. I suggest doing this as soon as you can. The Hotels where the Conventions are hosted at each year always sell out. Although there are surrounding Hotels you can stay at as well. I just like staying where the event is, easy access to the "party rooms"... :headbang:

Can't wait to see you all....... 11 Months away........

P.S. We should start a Sweeps Convention Countdown.... :laughing:
 
how much did the hotel cost for those days? Maybe I can just sleep and champagnes room the whole time. Thats something I can afford. :laughing: :cry:
