  10. b.    On June 15, 2013, attendees at the Station’s “Frog Fest” event may complete a registration card to participate in the Sweepstakes.  No purchase necessary to enter.  At the event, ten (10) persons will be selected at random as Qualifiers, who will be eligible to participate in the drawing at the Final Event for the Grand Prize.
  11. c.      Between June 15 and August 24, the Station intends to hold approximately nineteen (19) additional events where the Grand Prize will be on display.  At each event, attendees will be invited to complete a registration card, no purchase necessary.  A person may enter the Sweepstakes at each event location, but may not enter more than one (1) card at any single event.  Any additional attempts to enter will automatically be void and any prize awarded to an ineligible contestant will be deemed null and void.  At each of the nineteen (19) events, ten (10) persons will be selected at random as Qualifiers.  Each Qualifier must be present to win on the day of entering the Sweepstakes.  No substitutions will be permitted.   All Qualifiers will be notified, on the day of the event, of their selection as a Qualifier and must be present to win.

Once ten (10) Finalists have been selected, each will randomly select a new key.  Each Finalist will get a turn to insert their key into the ignition of the Watercraft; the Finalist whose key turns on the Watercraft is the Grand Prize Winner and the Sweepstakes has ended.  No other Finalist will try his/her key once a Grand Prize Winner has been declared.
  14. f.      The locations of each event will be announced on the Station each day during the course of the Sweepstakes.  The Station will promote where the “next” location to enter will be.  It is the interested parties’ responsibility to find their own transportation to events to enter. There may be only one (1) qualified Finalist per household and mailing address, per location. Qualifiers must be present at the Final Event location on Saturday, August 24, 2013 to win.
