We had a few mishaps, namely question #2 (about Mitch’s age at the time of him racing the Iron Horse. With that in mind, I allowed those who missed that question (and got everything else right) a chance to win. I try to be as fair as possible! However, if you missed #2 but also another one, that means you were not in the drawing. Or if you missed only one, but it was NOT #2 that you missed, you are also not in the drawing. Make sense?
At any rate, Daisy is the random winner out of six 100% entries. There were two dozen entries total. I know you want to know who the six entries were. Here you go.
- Daisy
- Emma A.
- Esther B. (Essie), missed #2 only
- Anna F., missed #2 only
- Tori H.
- Abby B.
