Last chance to win Wide Open Bluegrass getaway

Event Details

wob14_thToday, August 28, is the last day to enter for a chance to win a pair of tickets to IBMA’s Wide Open Bluegrass festival in Raleigh, NC, along with hotel accommodations and $500 in travel expenses.

The giveaway is sponsored by Visit Raleigh, the convention and visitors bureau for the city, and the folks that worked for years to bring the big IBMA World of Bluegrass convention to town. They also were an immense help in promoting the initial conference in Raleigh last year, and set up the free downtown music, arts, crafts and food festival that runs simultaneously with Wide Open Bluegrass’ ticketed activities.

The sweepstakes is being called All Expenses Played, and entries can be made online.

Valued at roughly $1000, the prize package contains everything you need for a fun bluegrass weekend in Raleigh:

  • One (1) two-night (Oct. 3-4, 2014) hotel accommodation at a Raleigh hotel
  • Two (2) general admission tickets to PNC presents Wide Open Bluegrass shows on Oct. 3-4, 2014, in Raleigh’s Red Hat Amphitheater
  • Two (2) access wristbands to the 2014 Wide Open Bluegrass VIP tent
  • One (1) $500 gift card to defray transportation costs
  • One (1) $25 gift card to a downtown Raleigh restaurant
  • Two (2) official Wide Open Bluegrass T-shirts

The contest is open to US residents 18 years and older (void where prohibited). August 28 is the last day for registration, and a winner will be announced on the 29th.
