The date was wrong on this email! The final drawing is this Saturday, Oct
29th @ Stub & Herb's from 10-12. Hope you can make it. Please call or
email Matt to secure your spot ASAP.

Does someone really have to attend for me to win? That seems kind of
ridiculous since you informed me of this three days beforehand, and
informed me with the wrong date. Because of this situation, do you have a
representative that would be able to attend for me?

Please email me back and let me know.

Thank you,
Elizabeth Nielsen

Sorry, but those are the rules. It's a small price to pay to win $1500.
You can have someone go and represent you, but it's not fair to anyone if
the winner is not present. If you don't want to attend, we will gladly pick
a different winner to go in your place. I hope this answers any questions
you may have had.

wait, did i actually win? and if you pick someone to go in my place, do i
still win the prize? i dont understand the logic of how that is any
different than having someone else represent me. can you please send me a
list of rules and regulations for this promotion.

thank you

You can have someone that you know go in your place. We are not in charge
of finding you a replacement. If you do not attend or have someone attend
for you, you cannot win. It is not fair to the others present to allow
someone that is not there to win. If you are not planning on attending, we
can pick a completely different winner. This different winner will be
eligible for the $1500, not you. This is not a very difficult concept to
understand. If you want to win $1500, either show up or have a friend go
for you.
