#1 is trying to stay motivated to enter as much as possible.
You know it is like work sometimes. Just Do It!!
And keeping a positive attitude, best as I can.
Here is a tip for Local Wins, - -
When filling out a form and you drop it in the box for it to be drawn out. Before you drop it in, be sure to Fold the entry form like an Accordion!
Normally people fold the entry in right in half. That is a big No No!
The ridges formed with the Accordion fold creats something peolpe can feel when they are drawing the entry.
You know how they look away and grab around. They will be like what the heck is this? And pick it!!!
I win a lot this way. My brother just did this last month a Lowes. He won an outdoor furniture set. $900.
Good Luck This Year!
