Contest Winners
Jelly Bean Contest - April 2011
The signs of Spring were all around us . . . the smell of daffodils, the sounds of birds chirping, and Easter's favorite candy, the jelly bean! As always, we cautioned our patients with orthodontic appliances to steer clear of those tempting chewy, gooey treats. Instead, we invited them to join in our Spring Jelly Bean Contest.
This year's Jelly Bean Contest Winners, Tim Hennick and Sierra Rupp, entered identical guesses of 2300 so both received a $20 Toys-R-Us gift card. The actual number of jelly beans in the jar was 2319.
Crazy Contest of Color - June 2011
During our Crazy Contest of Color, we challenged your mathematical skills as well as your imagination. As many of you skillfully guessed, our Guess the Number jar was filled with the color samplers for the "O" rings placed around your braces.
With a great guess of 834, our winner - Jillian Becker came closest to the actual number of rings in the jar. As our winner, Jillian received a $25 gift card to Regal Cinemas for a night at the movies!
Actual Number of Rings = 840 . . . How Close Was Your Guess?
Independence Day Contest - July 2011
In recognition of Independence Day, we adorned our office with
yards and yards of red, white and blue ribbon. The challenge was to guess the exact length of all those ribbons and our winner came close.
Congratulations go to Sean Paulsen whose guess of 285 feet, 3 inches came closest to the actual ribbon length of 283 feet, 5 inches.
As our winner, Sean received four passes to Churchville Miniature Golf and gift certificates to Arctic Circle for ice cream treats.
Thanks to all who played to win . . . Hope you had a Happy Fourth of July holiday.
Back-To-School Brain Teaser Contest - September 2011
The theme of this year's Back-To-School Brain Teaser Contest was the simple, yet handy writing tool - The Pencil. Writing apparatus have come and gone, but the trusty pencil has stood the test of time. In fact, historians have traced back the invention of the pencil to the mid 1600's. Our Brain Teaser Contest had two challenges . . . guess the number of pencils in the jar and a fun pencil trivia challenge.
Congratulations go to two lucky winners . . .
With a perfect entry of 276 Trent Tolly guessed the exact number of pencils in the jar. Trent walked away with a $20 gift card to Staples for his choice of back-to-school supplies.
When it comes to pencils, it seems that many of you know your stuff! We had several patients who answered our pencil trivia questions correctly, so Nick Penn's name was randomly chosen from all those who qualified. Nick received a $10 ITunes gift card.
Halloween Contest - October 2011
This year's Halloween contest, The Forbidden Zone, came with two challenges. First and foremost, it served as an important reminder to our patients that they need to steer clear of treats that can cause damage to their braces or other orthodontic appliances. Second, it provided them with another fun-filled contest with a chance to win a great prize! Our Forbidden Zone jar was filled with all the sticky, chewy, hard and crunchy treats that we ask our patients to avoid. Their challenge was to guess the exact number of treats in the jar.
Congratulations go to Tyler Thompson and Connor Fallace. With duplicate contest entries of 357, both Tyler and Connor came closest to the actual number of Forbidden Zone treats in the jar. As winners, they each received a $20 gift card to Target.
Let's Talk Turkey Contest – November 2011
We all know that when it comes to Thanksgiving, there's nothing more all-American than a turkey dinner with all the fixings. In honor of this great holiday, we decided to find out how much you knew about one of our nation's favorite birds.
We had several patients who answered 10 of the 11 trivia questions correctly, earning them the highest score in our Let's Talk Turkey Trivia Contest. We randomly drew the name of one lucky winner from all those who qualified and congratulations go to Maddie Novad. As our winner, Maddie received two movie tickets to Regal Cinemas.
Thanks for testing your brainpower during our Let's Talk Turkey Trivia Contest. Everyone did great . . . Your feathered friends would be proud!
Christmas Ornament Contest – December 2011
During this year's holiday season, we decorated our Braces-Themed Christmas tree with all the trimmings. It sparkled with strings of light, shiny retainers and, of course, those colorful balls that make the Christmas tree dazzle.
In the spirit of the dazzling tree tradition, we also celebrated the holiday season with our Christmas Ornament Contest. Patients were challenged to guess the correct number of colorful ornaments in the jar, and everyone did a great job. In fact, we had five patients who entered a guess of 120, just one away from the exact number in the jar.
The name of our lucky winner was chosen randomly from all those who qualified. Congratulations go to Joshua Stem. As our winner, Joshua received a $25 gift card to Dick's Sporting Goods. Thanks to all who joined in the contest fun!
