Dee Dee was put into a drawing to win one of three possible prizes; a trip to Fort Wayne, Indiana, an Ipod, or a dinner in a nice local restaurant. She was one of the top three sales people of the year for her company and this was one of the ways in which they demonstrated their appreciation for hard work. Dee Dee had her hopes on the Ipod because she didn’t have one and had been wanting to buy one. Meanwhile, she didn’t know a lot about Fort Wayne and she wasn’t much of a person to go out to dinner. Well, unless it was at her favorite ribs place, but this was a gift certificate for pasta and Dee Dee was currently on a low carbohydrate diet. As the names were drawn each of the sales staff placed their hand into a large bowl and withdrew a ticket. The first person to draw was Janet and she ended up drawing the Ipod. Dee Dee went second and the prizes were down to what seemed like it might be a nice trip and or cheating on her diet. Luckily for Dee Dee she drew the Fort Wayne prize, and while she was pleased with her prize she didn’t realize how fortunate it was at the time that she drew it.
Dee Dee invited her close friend Tom to go with her to and stay in one of the nice hotels Fort Wayne. They arrived in town on June 18th and were scheduled to stay until the 22nd. That afternoon they happened to be getting ready to find a nice deli to get something to eat when they overheard two people talking about a festival taking place at Headwaters Park. Dee Dee thought that was interesting sounding that a festival would be taking place there while they were visiting and she assumed it was some kind of crafts festival. Meanwhile she overheard that the two people had fasted a whole day to save up their appetite for the ribs. This immediately activated Dee Dee’s hunger and she insisted that she and Tom find this Headwaters Park. When they did Dee Dee thought she had found barbeque heaven. The event-taking place was actually a barbeque festival and they happened upon it on the first day it was open. For the next three days both she and Tom enjoyed great ribs and music. Dee Dee could have been happier.
