Here's how you win the 2 pairs of tickets to see Alison and Robert. 2 people win will 2 tickets each. (They aren't affiliated with this at all.)
So anyway, I've got 2 pairs of tickets to see their show in Chattanooga this Wednesday. I'm gonna pick the winners at random so if you know me or have worked with me you can't enter. Here's how you enter:
Go to TreeMe.org. Tell me how many times you see the word "TreeMe" on the main page. Tell me how many times it says "TreeMe!" in the video that TreeMe! has on their YouTube page. (you can get there from TreeMe.org) Tell me how many products they have in their TreeMe! store. (you can get there from the TreeMe.org site also.) You don't have to buy anything, although if you do keep in mind all the profit goes towards their non-profit goal. Tell me what their goal is and what date they wish to reach that goal. Then email me that information at [email protected].
You have to have your entry in by 4:00 Central time tomorrow, Monday April 21st. You can only enter once. If you're a winner I'll email you back at 5:15 Central Time and you send me a mailing address. NOT a P.O Box because Fed-Ex can't deliver to those. You have to email me back by 6:30 PM Central Time so I can get the tickets to Fed-Ex in time.
5 entrants who don't win the tickets will win a TreeMe! t-shirt. 2 Will win TreeMe! hats and 1 will win TreeMe! stickers.
Example of an entry:
I found TreeMe! ____ times on the main page at TreeMe.org.
The video says "TreeMe!"______ times.
There are ______ products for sale in the TreeMe! store.
The goal and the date to reach it at TreeMe! is:
Good luck!

Mayor of Bluegrass Gives Cherryholmes Key to the City of Bluegrass
Wichita Rutherford, The Mayor of Bluegrass, presented the Cherryholmes family with the key to the City of Bluegrass. "They are what Traditional Music and Bluegrass is all about" says the Mayor. "A family that lives together, plays and records music together and tours together. There's nothing like the vocal harmonies of a family in Bluegrass. Just look at The Whites."
When asked what the ceremony meant to the family, Jere Cherryholmes replied "Uh... yeah... It's an honor? I mean, it's really small... but hey, you know... It's an honor I guess?... yeah... It's an honor." Cia Cherryholmes commented "He looks at me funny. And I'm not talking about that haircut and teeth. He just looks at me funny. You know?"
Mother, Sandy Cherryholmes said "Well, we keep the doors locked and everything, but he still drives up and down the street in front of our house a lot."
