Edited to add: I had dinner with MaryAnn tonight and she found pictures of our "Garth" experience. See below!
Antique Mommy had a funny post up today. She wrote about the time she won a pumpkin in 4th Grade and then asked for comments about our "winning" stories. Two came to mind for me:
When I was in 2nd or 3rd grade, I won a coloring contest sponsored by our local newspaper. The prize was tickets to the zoo. My mom drove up to the small office and had my brother and I go in to claim the prize. When we walked in, we were shocked to see a fully grown lion laying in the floor!! I think we were so scared, we ran back to the car and had my mom go in with us. I can still picture that lion, larger than life, laying so calmly in the floor.
Fast forward to my senior year of high school...
My friends and I were country music fans and had gone to several concerts - George Straight, Dixie Chicks, Tim Mcgraw, Faith Hill, etc. MaryAnn, Meredith, Sandy and I had tickets to the Garth Brooks Concert one night. We were headed to the cheap seats (looking pretty darn cute, I must add) when a man stopped us. He asked if we were big fans of GB. We squealed and said "of course." The next thing we know - we were escorted to the FRONT ROW for the concert. It was a blast!!

So, I can't actually claim that I've never won anything! What about you??

It's hard to see in the little picture, but do you guys have your shirts tied in knots with a wee bit of stomach showing? If so -- awesome. That's so 1990s and I have pictures of me the same way. :)
