Andrew, my brother-in-law, was contacted at the end of the BC Highland Games at the Percy Perry Stadium (formerly Town Centre Stadium in Coqutlam) on June 30th and informed that he had won a trip for two to Scotland! In a brief state of confusion he asked how? Apparently, his name was mysteriously drawn at the end of the games and he was announced the winner. Hours later the mystery was solved.
On Saturday, June 30th, my mom was volunteering at the BC Highland Games and decided to purchase some raffle tickets. In keeping with her kind spirit, she decided to put each of our names (Andrew, Scott, Ted, Jeanette, Diane & Charlene) on the tickets she purchased. Hours later Andrew's name was drawn! What a lucky wee duck!
What's most interesting about this is that years ago when we were at a highland games in Portland, Oregon my mom put her name in the raffle and won a trip for two to Scotland! She ended up going in the fall of that year and had a great time.
Hopefully her good luck will carry on (touch wood!).
