    I think since we all helped pick your winners, we should get a cut of the prize money:D

    What site will they be on? The grand prize winner must have been something else to beat out yours. Congrats.

    The shots will bbe on the Alligator Farm's webpage. http://www.alligatorfarm.us/

    The winnings are already spoken for. Linda has been great as I bought all kinds of glass, camera bodies, tripods, etc. I'm gonna cash the checks and take Linda and the cash to the local jewelry shop. I'm then going to stand outside the door and i won't let Linda leave until she has spent tthe winnings.
