Meet the Branson Giveaway winners!
Meet the Branson Giveaway winners!

Courtesy Bill and Charlene Mitchell

We know many of you worked it like a job, entering our Branson Vacation Giveaway contest, and we thank you. However, the luck was with Bill and Charlene Mitchell, of Springfield, as they were the winners we drew from the hat. They will take their Branson vacation this summer and are very excited.

We asked them a few questions, so readers of the 417 Blog could get to know the lucky folks a little better.

Ages:
Wondering why this is important—but Bill 61, Charlene, 58

What was your reaction when you found out you won?:
Completely surprised. Like everyone else says, "we never win anything!"

Why are you excited about being chosen as the winner of the 417 Branson Vacation Getaway?:
We always do day trips to Branson, and had been talking about spending a week in Branson, but hadn't acted upon it yet. So this makes it happen

Who are you planning on taking with you?:
Charlene's brother and friend, who will be visiting from Orlando, Florida.

What part of the prize package are you most excited about?
Actually all of it together—the opportunity to see some shows we have already enjoyed and new ones, revisit restaurants we like and try new ones, and experience the other venues that we normally would not select.

Dori Allen Grinder, marketing director
