Each summer we run a few contests to give you something to do when the barbeques and swimming run out. This year we had a Postcard Contest, an Explain This Image contest, and of course our Car of the Future Coloring Contest at the Sellwood Concerts in the Park. Now that summer is little more than a sunburned memory we thought it was time to bring you up to speed on our winners…
We had two in-shop contests this year, but the results were pretty disappointing. The first was our Postcard Contest, where we asked you to send us a postcard from wherever your summer adventure took you. The second was something new for us, an
Explain This Image Contest where we asked you to give us the best caption you could come up with for this somewhat unusual (but real) picture of an inflatable duck. $50 was at stake in each contest, and we had the same winner for both… no one. That’s right, with cash on the table and a low bar for entry, no one entered either contest. We’re not discouraged, though, so we’ll probably try it again next year. Start sharpening your pencils now!
We had a much more enthusiastic response on our Car of the Future contest, as we do every year. We have a booth each year at the Sellwood Concert in the Park, and we run a coloring contest for the kids stuck spending the evening with their parents. There’s a small group gathered around the table each night for most of the show, so the little bambinos apparently appreciate the gesture. We appreciate the amazing creativity they show each year! Our winners this year each received a gift certificate to Wallace Books and a certificate for a Minor Interval Service here at the shop. So, without further ado, here the top three visions of our automotive future from our top three winners!
