Congratulations Megan Battaglia – you’ve been randomly selected as the winner of Pure Michigan’s Pin to Win: Michigan in Love contest! We’ll be in touch via email with details for obtaining your prize.

Funny..the winner’s board did the bare minimum…some of these boards were beautiful and really captured “Michigan in Love”..if you’re going to do a Pinterest contest, do it right! Don’t randomly select someone and not even bat an eye at the boards! Very disappointed…

1353 Jennifer Decker March 6, 2013 at 9:57 pm

I agree with Jane, was so sad I spent days on my board. Not to be rude or spiteful but I also believe that someone who spent some more time and effort would may have been a more appropriate choice. Never mentioned anything about being a “random” drawing in the details above.

Congradulations to the winner of Pure Michigans Pin to Win contest. Mackinaw Island is truly a lovely place to visit. Thanks to Pure Michigan, Buick, The Grand Hotel, American Airlines, and Woods Restaurant for offering a awesome package that will surely be memorable. Megan Battaglia was randomly selected, as stated in the official rules, as the winner. Thanks to Pure Michigan for giving all the participants a peek into Mackinaw Island, an incentive to learn pinterest, and the opportunity to participate in an awesome contest.

Congrats to the winner! FYI- The rules did indicate it was a random draw. She followed the rules to win.

Congratulations to Megan, though I do agree with Jane Doe and Jennifer Decker–that “random winner” part is sad for those that actually tried to do their board justice. Some boards had 100+ pins, and the winner had 12. Just seems like great hash tag publicity for Pure Michigan on Pinterest. Learned my lesson: next time, if the rules don’t ask for quality, don’t bother with effort. Now I’m going to avada kedavra that board off my page. Kisses! Voldemort <3

1357 Disappointed March 7, 2013 at 8:21 pm

WOW!, what a waste of time for all of those people trying to do pure Michigan some justice, just to see like the people above said someone win who applied the very minimal effort. I guess it pays off to be lazy! Next time I enter a contest this is example of my role model “do minimum effort to get an A+.”

Thanks for another wonderful post. Where else may just anyone get that type of
info in such an ideal method of writing? I’ve a presentation next week, and I’m on the search for such information.

Hey there are using Wordpress for your blog platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to
get started and create my own. Do you require any html coding knowledge to make your own blog?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Nexus Radio is one of the best free Internet radio programs
for the Windows 7 platform. They get their revenues only from the commercials and hence,
they charge nothing from their customers. While traditional radio broadcasters
have often used the Internet to advertise or promote their shows, Internet radio technology has actually revolutionized the concept and simple programming requirements have taken it
to the extent where individuals, organizations
or anyone for that matter, can easily host their own Internet
talk radio station from the comfort of their home.

What is the most important portion is the sincere words that you put together in the poems that will catch the attention of the one you loved as this is what you truly want from the romantic poems that you have created
for him. You can always choose a box of her favorite chocolates, for example.
However, believe it or not poems about getting back together actually can be quite powerful when attracting your ex back into your life.

I’m gone to convey my little brother, that he should also pay a quick visit this web site on regular basis to take updated from most recent gossip.

Needless to say I felt that it was something that I would take a little time to explain and more importantly give some insights
into why it is so important to your business. The words in Tweets
are searchable so from a marketing standpoint it is
important to use words you want to be found, such as health, wellness,
pain or stress relief, etc. Twitter is one of the best methods
for seeing what is being said about an organization.

That’s like Houston Texas being without a Country station. And once you have your own project that you want to promote, you must have considered the radio as one of the best alternatives to introduce your music to the crowds. You will need an outside antenna to get clear reception on your radio.

Carrots (or Daucus carota) are among the list of vegetables that are easy to
grow, tasty, high in nutrition, and can be easily added to our diet.
Lunch vegetable soup, boiled chicken breast (100 g), carrot salad with corn oil, a glass of plum
juice. Chopra has also authored quite a few books
on diet including, Perfect Health and Perfect Weight among many others.
