To that end, they’re offering an all-expenses included day trip for 2 adults down the Shore to include at a minimum the following: transportation to and from your home; tolls down and back; a walk on the boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach (off season, so no sand in your shorts since we’re not going swimming); $10 in quarters each to spend at the arcades for pinball or video games, boardwalk games of chance, or whatever else floats your boat; casual lunch on the boardwalk and dinner at a fancier place nearby. Other activities (and a rain date, if necessary) to be determined by mutual agreement. Come enjoy the towns of our (misspent) youth with us. | 1 | 0 | 000250.0 | 250 | .001E7 | 100 | 9/28/13 12:10 AM |

| Amish Feast | You don't need to drive all the way to Lancaster PA to get your Amish food fix. Raymond's father grew up in Amish Country, PA so Nancy learned how to prepare traditional Amish foods for him. Now she would like to prepare them for you and serve them to you in the Brungard's Bridgewater home! The menu is not yet set and will depend on the pallets and dietary requirements of the winners, but may include such favorites as chicken pot pie with homemade noodles, sauerbraten, cucumber cream salad, apple strudel and warm from the oven bread. Beer, wine and port are included. Note: Vegetarian diets can be easily accomodated, but Amish food does not lend itself well to vegan or gluten-free diets. | 5 | -1 | 000050.0 | 50 | .00025E7 | 25 | 10/5/13 5:00 PM | |

We have four great seats (row N, seats 107-110 in the center), but alas, that means we can't add any extra people at the last minute. This outing is recommended for a mature audience.
