And now comes the moment you have all been waiting for!
I really wish that we could give out prizes to everyone. After reading all of the St. Patrick's Days posts, I have to say that this is truly a wonderful online community and a great place to hang out. I really enjoyed reading all of the posts and profiles from members new and old alike.
Before I get to the prizes, I just wanted to share with you the success of the contest. The goal was to bring in new members, increase our listenership and introduce new people to our community forums. I think the results speak for themselves:
Stats for March 17, 2004 - St. Patrick's Day:
New Members: 57 Total Posts: 580 Total Unique Visitors: 2,367 Max Concurrent Listeners: 246 Total Listens: 52,385
In fact, we are so pleased with the results and with the number of contestants (143!), that we have decided to include a 5th prize! A Celtic Cross charm necklace!
If these members could please contact us with your mailing address to claim your prize. Please send us email using our contact form.
And for everyone else, we already have a new contest lined up for April (Heather Dale's 'May Queen' CD) and plan on having a new contest every month. So there will be plenty of chances to win!
Finally, I just want to thank Killian (Mrs. Macfive) for keeping those leprechaun's away from our computer servers yesterday! Especially on St. Patrick's day and with the contest, the last thing we needed was those leprechaun's causing trouble again!
Realm: second star to the right, straight until morning
CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE!!!!!!!
This is truely a great place to be!
And, Paul ( and Killian) I was thinking good thoughts all day yesterday to keep things running smoothly. Unlike last years disaster!!!! Good show! Thanks for giving us somewhere to hang out!

I'd have loved to be one of the lucky winners this time, but I still feel like I won...this is a great place to listen to the music that I love all year around. We have our own station to listen to on Sundays, (KCTE Hot Talk Radio AM 1510 from 10 - 12:00 CST) But at any other time, I'll be here faithfully!!
Thanks for being here, keep up the great work and have more of these contsts! (I couldn't wait to get up and check to see if I'd won...and I still have St. Patrick's fever from yesterday!!!)
*mutter.. mutter * I knew that sister of mine would manage to walk away with a prize....
Oh, I mean, congratulations sister dear....

Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. - Frederick Buechner

May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
