    Victorinox Swiss Army 125th Anniversary Contest Grand Prize!

    Hi Everyone!

    I am still in disbelief, but I received a phone call saying they wanted to speak to me about my essay I submitted for the Victorinox 125th Anniversary Contest. They asked me to tell them about the essay, which was about my wonderful Grandpa, and I cried the entire interview. They said not to worry, they were all crying too! Anyway, it is a very family-oriented company and my essay was chosen as the Grand Prize Winner for a 7-day, 6-night trip to Switzerland! I am so excited! There are two types of entries for the contest, with the video portion ending October 31, 2009 - I'm not sure when the essay portion ended.

    Thank you fellow sweepers for your encouragement! There are many times when I am tempted to stop entering sweeps but I see so many wonderful words of encouragement from fellow sweepers & Mr. Sweepy, that it helps me keep going. And thanks to Mr. Sweepy for such a wonderful website.  It's double exciting because now this makes me a member of the $10,000 club!

     Congratulations on your great win and I know you will love the trip also.  I am very happy you won,  I once lived in Ocala and would ride through your city at times which is a nice place to live.  You apparently put everything you had into the contest with a lot of work and you certainly deserve to win and I am proud it was a member of Mr. Sweepy site.  Good Luck to you in the future and keep sweeping.
