If this contest is new information for you, click here to find out a little more about the Greenbrier Classic and why I'm giving anything away in the first place. Are you caught up? So now you know that I have a pair of tickets to the entire event and I'm looking for a plus one to the events that I'll be attending. Those events are as follows:
- Tim McGraw concert - Thursday, July 28 at 8pm
- Round 2 of the golf tournament - All Day Friday, July 29
- Black Eyed Peas concert - Friday, July 29 at 9pm
- Round 3 of the golf tournament - All Day Saturday, July 30
- Miranda Lambert and Keith Urban concert - Saturday, July 30 at 8pm
Below you'll find a number of questions that comprise a trivia test. The questions are all about me. It was easy to come up with questions about me because I'm kind of an expert on the subject. If you don't know me, or don't know me well, don't worry. All of the answers to these questions can be found somewhere on this blog in past posts.
The rules are fairly simple. Answer the questions to the best of your ability and send your answers directly to my e-mail address: peckapalooza@gmail.com. Take your time with it, you have until noon this Sunday to submit your answers. The winner will be the entry with the highest score. In the event of a tie, a random number generator will provide a winner by drawing someone at random.
Please note, the winner must be able to provide his or her own transportation to the Roanoke area. I'm happy to drive to the Greenbrier for the events but, unfortunately, I won't be able to provide more transportation than that. Also, the winner may been on his or her own for meals. I'm not sure how expensive the local eateries around the Greenbrier will be, so I can't guarantee that I'll be able to afford food for myself. Remember, I won these tickets in a contest myself and, unfortunately, it didn't come with a cash allowance for food and travel.
Was that enough of a buzzkill? I hope not. I hope you still want to play along. I'm hoping that you'll find this as fun as I am in making up these questions. Bear in mind, the prize isn't that you get to hang out with me all weekend, that's really just a bonus. The prize is the chance to go to an awesome golf tournament and three great concerts. Please get out a No. 2 pencil and we will begin.
