WINNERS: You will be contacted by the prize team for delivery information. Please be patient!

DIDN'T WIN?: Don't despair! We'll run another drawing for leftover prizes from the non-winner pool!

HOW THE DRAWING WAS CONDUCTED:

The drawing was conducted using the Third-Party Draw Service from Random.org

You can use this link to the official drawing record to see the drawing summary and verify your inclusion. Use your IAP MEMBER NAME to check your inclusion.

NOTE: If you check for your entry, please be aware that it's case sensitive. Whatever you entered when you did the credit card processing is what you need to enter to check for inclusion in the drawing. If you feel somehow that you should have been entered in the drawing and the service tells you otherwise, please let me know by PM. I hope I did not neglect to include anyone who entered, but mistakes happen, and in that situation, we'll find some fair solution.

I also recorded a screen capture video while I executed the drawing. Sorry, but random.org was running super slow when I did the drawing, so the video is painfully long.

[firewhatfire]

It appears all of the names need to put back in the hat and re-drawn as I did not win..............using my Jedi mind powers to see I can make it happen.:biggrin:

On the other hand congrats to all of the winners and thanks to all of those who donated prizes and those who organized this festive month of fun.

[Justturnin]

AMAZING!!!!!

 

[RichB]

Thank you very much. It will go to good use. I have been sharpening by hand for over 40 yrs and now I can try hi-teck sharpening. This has been a fun Bash.

[Jim15]

Congratulations to all.

 

[plano_harry]

WOW! I can't believe I won a genuine Cactus Juice box. Although there were more valuable prizes, this is one I definitely wanted and I was going to try and rig one, but now I have the real deal!! Thanks to Curtis for donating and Jeff for rigging the drawing!!:laugh: Now if I could just get my hands on some of those elusive cactus blanks that are always sold out...

Now if I can win a toaster oven at the bank, I am good to go.

Many thanks,
Harry

Thanks to all of the donors! Those are some awesome gifts.

I am having a problem though - have looked over the winners list at least 10 times and STILL can't find my name . . .

[OKLAHOMAN]

This is my 8th bash and first time winning and when I saw what I'd won I haven't stopped laughing, sometimes life is a blast and this is one of those times.

 

[jeff]

Folks, if you check the link at random.com to confirm your entry, please make sure you use the same capitalization on your member name that you used on the credit card order form. The order confirmation email you received shows you exactly how you entered it.

Please let me know if you just can't verify your entry and I'll check into it, but I'd appreciate it if you'd check the capitalization first.

Thanks!

 

[bobleibo]

Wow! I think that was my name on that list...no way! I better buy some lottery tickets fast!
Thank you to all the organizers and vendors who made this fun and possible for a lot of people.
Cheers

[ed4copies]

All of the winners have been asked for their addresses and so forth.

Tomorrow that information will be passed along to the donors and the process of getting your prize to you will be underway.

[Old Lar]

Thanks, I have won in the trivia contest and the donation drawing. The third year is a charm as I never win anything... I guess my luck is turning. That is good as I am retiring in a month and will be doing some traveling.
Thanks to the organizers and donors for a great Birthday Bash. This is a great group to hang out with and be a small part of.

 

[Rick_G]

Congrats to all the winners. My bribe cheque hadn't been cashed so I got a stop payment on it just before the bank closed yesterday. All in all a good bash and I got a nice mug that holds an extra large cup of coffee.:biggrin:

 

[SloLouie]

I've got my floaties on and heading over to the loser pool now.

 

[Smitty37]

To remove any confusion - the gift certificate to Smitty's Pen Works was not donated by me - it is from the IAP because I have a vendor catalog here and both the winner and I benefit from it. Thank you Jeff. Congratulations to all of the winners.

 

[Pete275]

WOW!!!! I can't believe I won. I guess the third year is a charm. I'm as giddy as a pig in a Geico commercial with a pinwheel hangin out the window goin WEEE WEE WEEEEE! Thanks to Jeff and all the people that make the bash possible, It is always something I look forward to and winning makes it that much more special.

Wayne

 

[Scott]

Wow! I can't believe I won! This is the first year I wasn't involved some way in running the Bash, so it's the first year I really could have won something. And to think I will get to try out some of those cool Old Fox blanks - I am amazed! Thank you!

Scott.

 

[Scott]

Oops! ;-)

 

[nava1uni]

I want to thank all of the donors. I was excited to learn I had won a Nova Midi Chuck. It will be put to good use. I always think that you cannot have too many chucks. LOL!.

 

[darrin1200]

First I want to thank everyone involved with the Bash this year. Although a little different, it was still great. I am really looking forward to the milestone 10th Bash.

With this in mind, I have decided to put my $50 gift certifcate towards getting my start in custom "kitless" pens. I just finished sorting out my order with Roy at Classic Nib.

I plan on being ready to kick butt in next years compentitions.

 

[SAWDUST 101]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is the only word to describe this years BASH. Thanks to all who had to work and burn the midnight oil to make this so sucessful this year. I wouldn't begin to name names for feer of missing some one but again thanks to all

Being chosen a winner in the Feb. 1 Trivia contest, I'm looking forward to turning some of ARIOUX's blanks when received. I also want to thank him in advance for contributing prizes to the Bash.

Thanks again to all....Don
