2008 Eastern M&G Tongue Weight 50/50 Fund Raiser

[PTHutch]

At this years SOC Eastern Meet & Greet we will be having Tongue Weight 50/50 fund raiser that will be run for a little bit of fun and to raise some money to support the operating cost of the Sunline Owners Club web site and forum.

Who can enter: Anyone can enter the Tongue Weight 50/50 fund raiser
(You do not need to have your camper tongue weighed to enter)
If you're not attending the M&G and would like to enter - PM JohnB or PTHutch

How It Works: You make a guess for the tongue weight for EACH of the trailers listed (including your own if it is in the list). Calculate the total weight of all your guesses. Submit your entry form and entry fee to John Barca (aka JohnB) at Site # 113 by 10am Saturday. John (aka JohnB) will then measure the tongue weight of each listed trailer and record its actual tongue weight. The winner will be the individual who’s total of ALL guessed tongue weight is the closest to the actual total tongue weight of ALL trailers listed.

What can I win: The winner will be awarded half of the total entry fees collected. The remaining 50% of entry fees collected will go to supporting the operating costs of SOC web site & forum.

How do I enter: Complete the entry form handed out at the M&G including Name (SOC Forum & real name), site # and your guess for the tongue weight of each trailer and the total of all weights.
Submit your completed form and entry fee to John Barca (aka JohnB) at Site # 113 by 10 am on Saturday.

Tips For Winning: Research before you come, be a real good guesser, have a lot of pure luck. Check out the trailers Friday night / Saturday morning. Go talk to your fellow camper and ask before you enter your form. They might not tell anything, but you can try.

What is the Entry Fee: $1.00 / entry form
(you can enter as many times as you would like. Provide a separate entry form for each entry)

Winners will be announced during Saturday night's camp fire.
