I Need Help To Win A Contest.

shilala · 01-31-2012, 10:09 AM

This is a thing Lisa needs to do for the the guy who owns the company she works for. Mind ya, if West wasn't a top-notch guy, the best of employers, and a Marine, I wouldn't put this before you guys.
He'd like for his kids to win a contest done by his local news channel.
If they win, the news channel will bring their "Weather Machine" to the kid's school and teach them all about weather by making snow, clouds, all kinds of cool stuff.
Today is the last day to vote and I guess they are in a close 2nd place.
He's put his entire organization on task with this today, a couple hundred people, and it's turned into a battle between two parts of the company.

Here's what you do...
Go to this page.
In the first dropdown, choose Cattaraugus
In the second dropdown, choose Portville Elementary School
In the "Weather" box, enter the word air.
Enter the pic code
Tick the "Parental Permission" box
Click "Submit"

You can also get to the voting page by going here and choosing Click Here To Vote!

You may enter as many times as humanly possible. Please keep track and post the number of times you voted here, because Lisa has to report how many votes she's gathered by 4:30 this afternoon.

Being as this is a pain-in-the-butt time-sensitive request, I thought a nice Thank You would be in order. I'll pick a random winner among you guys that help out and I'll send you the glorious fiver posted in the pic below.

Done, Brother, and I will do it some more from work.

Bill86 · 01-31-2012, 10:15 AM

I'm really bored today, I'll run this up 100 or so times.

ApexAZ · 01-31-2012, 10:16 AM

10 votes from me. Will try and do a few more over lunch and post a separate reply.

The page seems to close when I submit so I have no idea if the votes are going through. I'm not sure if this is normal or not.

It's doing the same for me, so I think we're good.

mkarnold1 · 01-31-2012, 10:17 AM

Done, and I'll keep doing it throughout the day. My daughter's 4th grade class just got a visit from the local meteorologist and she thought is was great. I can imagine the weather machine would be a huge hit with the kids.

12X now. I'll do some more later.

Yep

Same thing.

10 times for me as well and counting

MurphysLaw · 01-31-2012, 10:18 AM

5 votes from me

shilala · 01-31-2012, 10:21 AM

I got 5 in so far.

And yeah, the window keeps closing. I added the original page up in the rulez.
You just go here and then choose "Click Here To Vote" that's in big letters on the top right.
Thanks, guys!!!

You're fine. That's what it's supposed to do:

"To make voting easier, we have added a link to the form at the top of the page. Now you don't need to scroll down to get the form. The form will close when you hit submit... but feel free to vote again and again! Results will be shown each morning on Daybreak at 5:20am & 6:20am."

I'll start hitting it and will keep track. I hate those pic codes because I'm graphically challenged, but it beats the hell out of buying concert tickets on Ticketmaster.

Fordman4ever · 01-31-2012, 10:29 AM

Voted. I hope I win the 5'er. I've never had a skull and bones.

Bill86 · 01-31-2012, 10:31 AM

50 so far, this is very easy to vote a lot

I just suck at counting so pen and paper FTW.

T.G · 01-31-2012, 10:31 AM

I just put in 10-12 votes (I lost count). Will throw a few more in later when I get a chance.

Blak Smyth · 01-31-2012, 10:32 AM

50 for me so far I will for until lunch!

yourchoice · 01-31-2012, 10:33 AM

6 entries so far. If time permits, I'll enter more.

aich75013 · 01-31-2012, 10:34 AM

Did a few. I'll try to do more later.

Remo · 01-31-2012, 10:41 AM

10 for me bro!

kaisersozei · 01-31-2012, 10:41 AM

About 20 votes in so far. Would have been a few more but I screwed up the code a couple times and got the big red "you are an idiot and can't enter a password" error, so I had to re-enter.

01-31-2012, 10:45 AM

Done and done.
