And The Winner Is…
Early last month I announced I was giving away my two tickets to St. Louis’ 2009 Inaugural Ball at City Hall to be held Tuesday January 20, 2009. The entry deadline was 5pm Friday 1/2/09.
I ended up with 30 entries. As the entries came in I entered them into a spreadsheet in the order received. In the next column I entered a number from a website that generates random numbers. I then sorted by the random number (descending). I then entered in a new column numbers from 1 to 30 .   With the entries randomized and each assigned a number between 1-30 I emailed Alderwoman Kacie Starr Triplett, one of the organizers, and asked her to select the winning number in that range. She picked “6” for the 6th Ward.
The lucky winner is Kim Hughes. Congratulations! I’ve contacted Kim to let her know.  Ald Triplett has the winner’s information and will ensure she receives the tickets.
As I said before, I have class that evening, I can’t tie a tie and my typical bedtime is now before 9pm. So I figured someone else should enjoy the ball. One request — send pictures.
