and the Contest Winner IS...

[RockyR]

Guys,

Let me just say that I was BLOWN AWAY by the number of people who responded (and the number of typos we had!). I was truly VERY impressed with the suggestions, corrections, and grammar checking abilities of the members up here.

This was a VERY hard decision. Out of the 18 or so entrants, 9 of them sent reports that were over a page long (some 3 or 4 or 5 pages long)... and most were very detailed.

All that being said, I had to pick a winner. So the winner is:

Galb

Galb... contact me to get your Casual Kilt order started.

The rest of the entrants (no matter how long or short your suggestions / corrections list), will be getting a 35% off coupon code for any accessory on our site, once the new site goes live (HOPEFULLY this coming Monday). By "accessory", we mean everything on the site EXCEPT our kilts and kilt packages. Please note that this coupon will be good for about 1 week.

Thank you again to all who participated and sent suggestions. We appreciate the membership here helping us to make a better site.

Congrats Galb.

Rocky, glad to hear the new website is shaping up well and will soon be available.

That's great. Good work, Galb. I'm sure Rocky greatly appreciated it.

Well done Galb - and a big thank you to Rocky & Kelly!

[Galb]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Thank you so much. I will definitely be in touch very soon. I'm at work right now, but you will be hearing from me sometime today.

Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to do this.

Congratulations to you both, Galb and Rocky!

Congratualtions Galb!

Gee I wonder what tartan you will be ordering from Rocky?

Cheers

Hey Galb,

See if he'll give you Casual credit towards a semi-trad!

And holy smoking plastic 35%....yikes...what's most expensive???

Funny you should mention that... On my email from Rocky congratulating me on the win he told me I could either get a casual or use the credit towards a more expensive kilt. Well, I was ready for the casual, but who can pass up an offer like that?! I am so very stoked about this!

Congratualtions Galb!

Gee I wonder what tartan you will be ordering from Rocky?

Cheers

I dunno. Can you make a guess? ;)

In all seriousness, when I was thinking about a casual, I was thinking about the American Heritage. But when Rocky emailed me and offered me the option to pay the difference of an upgrade I immediately switched my tartan choice. Funny thing is that I had found a Galbraith kilt in acrylic from Highland Inspirations.com a while back. So, I do have a Galbraith kilt. But it seems to be more of a casual variety. Now it seems that I will have another Galbraith, but this time custom made to my measurements and a lot more quality.

So, there it is. I spoke with them at USAKilts today. Thank you Kelly for answering all my questions. And thank you Rocky (again) for this wonderful opportunity. My order is placed. I am currently waiting on a Galbraith Semi Traditional kilt. I am very excited and cannot wait. Is this what you all call "Jonesing"? Oh man I cannot wait!!

two thumbs up for the new site, it really looks good...

It was a great contest Rocky. I think the new site is wonderful and would be ordering from it regardless. But the coupon will be much appreciated.
Congrats to Galb. (Though my husband will be sad that I was not more helpul to Rocky!)
