Two identical Papparazi 50 cc retro Italian Style Motor Scooters given away during the 47th Amish Acres Arts & Crafts Festival
Over
4,000 visitors signed up for the drawing at the 2009 festival that
awarded a snazzy motor scooter to the lucky winner. The artists and craftsmen
were jeleous that they could not enter; so this year's event will give
two scooters instead of one. One will be given again to visitors who register,
the other to the artists and craftsmen participating in the show.
Winners will be drawn and announced at the close of the
festival on Sunday and need not be present to win. Because it gets
90 mpg, the winner has no worries about gas and therefore can
spend freely at the festival.
The winner of the scooters are responsible for pick up, title work,
licencing, insurance, and all other requirements by the Indiana Bureau
of Motor Vehicles. Amish Acres assumes no responsibilty or liability
for the actions of the winner and makes no representations as to
the legality of the winner's actions.
Carl Queen, Oklahoma, won the scooter given to the artists & craftsmen and Kelly Midallditch, Goshen, Indiana, won the scotter given to the festival's visitors.
