Congratulations Simone, You Win a Car!
Not just any car, a Lexus 350! Just for attending IRCE!
Only my second year attending IRCE, but both years I found it pretty funny that a car is raffled off on the last day of the show. Not that I’d turn it down if I was eligible to win. It’s just that people aren’t going to come to IRCE just to win a car (or any of the trips… except maybe the trip to IRCE 2010 in Chicago).
It’s a nice value-add though. But the best value-add of the show is the Internet Retailer 500 (if I can plug the competition). When it becomes available for attendees, it’s like vultures circling overhead, waiting for its prey.
Congratulations again, Simone Drampeau (sp) of Stride Rite, it was actually pretty awesome to see your excitement when Jack Love called your name. Now let’s hope he (or a sponsor) took care of the taxes on that prize for you…
