Everyone was excited for a chance to win and drive home in a FREE RIDE. Our 2016 Jeep Chereokee Trail-Hawk looked incredible in the shining sun Saturday morning. Registration was over, all the keys were in the bag, the Jeep Keys were locked up in our “treasure chest” from Home Hardware, and it was time to get started. We were on the hunt for the ONLY key that would open that treasure chest.
I reached into the draw drum, pulled out the first name and called the contestant up to pull a random key from the bag of keys to try in the lock. Grant Schutte our resident lock and key expert was on hand to make sure to double check each key just in case our contestants had trouble.
The key was inserted in the lock, and with great ease, it rotated and OPENED THE LOCK!!!
Never in the history of this contest has that happened! Pat Kirilenko could not believe that she was the lucky winner. As a matter of fact, she had planned on losing quickly so she could get back to harvest at the farm, but instead she went the other way and won the Free Ride on the very first try. Wow.
Congratulations Pat, and a huge thanks to all of our other key holders who were so patiently waiting for their chance to play. Maybe next year you’ll be lucky like Pat.
