Giveaway: Tickets to the SPAC winter ball - Blogs - Times Union

Gala-type events always seem to be a hit on OTE ? they?re an excuse to dress up, eat killer food and have a drink or two.

Today?s giveaway is for two tickets to the DALLAS, Everything?s Bigger in Texas SPAC winter ball on Saturday, Feb. 23 at The Hall of Springs.

The event will celebrate the spirit of the Lone Star State with features that include mechanical bull rides, Tuthilltown?s ?watch-your-back? bourbon bar and spicy southwest fare. Presented by SPAC?s Junior Committee, the ball is a fundraiser for classical programming at Saratoga Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $65 in advance or $70 at the door, are available at spac.org.

The winner gets two tickets to the event ?which includes the ?full bar.? Because this is sponsored by the junior committee, it tends to be a fairly upbeat, energetic event. Sticking with the theme of this SPAC-sponsored event, tell us when bigger really is better (and keep it clean, people).

Your tickets include below:

? Mechanical Bull rides
? Open bar with beer and wine
? Complimentary bourbon tastings and signature drinks by Tuthilltown Spirits?
? Generous ?Tex Mex? styled hors d?oeuvres
? Margarita Mania: Enter to win prizes from Frank Adams Jewelers, Tuthilltown Spirits, or Stella & Violets with your purchase of a Margarita, Top-shelf Tequila courtesy of Corinth Wine & Liquor
? Live music by Grand Central Station
? Costume contests and prizes for best dressed ?Texas Beauty Queen? and ?JR? Oil Baron
? Western chic/Southfork Ranch d?cor
? HBT Photography Western Photo Booth
? Sparkling champagne reception and Southern Spritz Cocktails provided by Mionetto
? Gideon Putnam Hotel discount rate ? $99 bed, bath, and breakfast for two (complimentary transportation also included)

As you know, we have rules here for our giveaways, and they go something like this:

• If you failed to pick up a prize, you are ineligible for one-year from date of the giveaway you won.
• If you won in the last 90 days, you are ineligible to win.
• Everyone can only answer once. Answering more than once will mean both answers are disqualified.
• The winner is chosen at random and all applicable answers stand an equal chance.
• If you don?t answer the question, you aren?t eligible to win (a lot of you ended up in this boat in the past).
• The contest closes at 4 p.m.
• Make sure your correct e-mail is included in the box that says ?e-mail? when you submit your comment. That is how we notify winners.
• Unless another arrangement is made, prizes are to be picked up at the main Times Union building in Colonie during our business hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) within a week of winning, or we will pick a new winner.
