A big shout out to both 9ah-figlet and FigVicious, whose donations are the primary source for the Santa's Reindeer Games at this time
This is a daily, two part contest.
The rules:
1) For each day of the contests, I will put together a package of approximately 15 cuttings that will be part of that day's contest. It is very likely that only 1 stick for each cultivar will be available each day so that we get as many different varieties as possible into the hands of more members. An exception might be I-258, RdB, or YLN, for which I have a good number of each.
2) Santa had 9 reindeer pulling his sleigh: Dasher, Dancer, Vixen, Prancer, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and Rudolph. Using Wheelofnames.com, a random reindeer was chosen for each contest date. Part 1: Members who want to participate in that day's contest simply guess which reindeer was chosen for that date. Members who correctly guess the reindeer of the day, will be considered as “SEMI-FINALISTS”. Part 2: If more than one member correctly guesses the deer of the day (MORE THAN ONE SEMI-FINALIST), the names of those members will be entered into the same wheel and a single, random winner will be chosen. If there are no winning guesses, I will re-spin the wheel with reindeer names until at least one correct guess occurs.
3) Each daily contest will be open for guesses until 9:00pm, Eastern Standard Time. I will do my best to post the winning member's name later that evening.
4) Open to all US members, but a member may only win once each week (Sunday through Saturday).
5) Winner would agree to pay a flat shipping rate of $10 to cover actual shipping costs and supplies (padded mailers, etc)
6) Any excess shipping fees will be applied to other, future giveaways which will offer FREE SHIPPING.
*All cuttings will have received a Spinosad bath, but it is recommended that members clean and sanitize their cuttings per their best practices.
Varieties in the December 13th Reindeer games include:
I-258 (2), Algerian Chetoui, CDD Gris, Mario (unk #), Joule Noir, St Rita, Malta Black, Brown Turkey, Salbe, Raspberry Latte, Red Lebanese Bekaa Valley, Pantaloon Winery, Thermalito and Chios Yellow Long
If you want to participate, please enter your guess for the randomly chosen reindeer for this contest of December 12th before tomorrow's 9:00pm deadline
As a result of a December 12th win, we will not let BucksCountyFigs join in any reindeer games (until Sunday December 14th). Instead, it's time to cheer on other participating members, along with Topfigs, cschnbs, DianaNE, SuperDave336, and snarfing for tomorrow's last game this week.
A recap of the games so far: 7 Reindeer Games, 7 different winners, 105 cuttings finding new homes. All members are eligible to participate once again, beginning December 14th.
Good luck to all in this season of giving. And while the CCGP offers these giveaways, please continue to support our members who run online cutting sales.
