Greetings Inngoers Reader,
We received this message from Claude and Janice Labrie, winners of our June-July 2003 Free Nights Contest, who have just returned from the 2-night stay they won at The Cypress - Sarasota, FL. The Labries used their prize visit to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary:
| "Nina, Vicky and Robert made it a wonderful anniversary . . . We felt like family. Our suite was gorgeous . . . Breakfast was even more superb . . . the view looking out on Sarasota Bay was breathtaking. I could go on forever, but let me say to anyone looking for a beautiful, intimate and convenient place to stay - this is it!" |
This is our 9th year of bringing you the monthly contest. We thank all the member innkeepers who offer their inns, the winners who have sent us their comments, and the thousands who enter each month.
