Adults who visit four (4) or more participating historic sites during this weekend event will be designated "History Travelers" and will qualify for a free drawing to win one of several $25 gasoline “gift” cards. This drawing provides an added incentive to entice visitors to take their time and meander pleasurably through Somerset County’s scenic countryside in its fall splendor, stopping along the way at any one of our many fine local restaurants for a brief respite before continuing on to complete the Northern, Central, or Southern suggested tours.
To participate in this year’s Wayfarer’s contest, jot down the answer to the question found on the bottom of each page of your guide booklet for each site. The answer to each site’s question is provided for you and prominently displayed for you at each of the sites. So… just note it in the margin of your guide book for later reference.
Once you have visited your fourth site and returned home, log on to this event’s official website www.schistoryweekend.com and select "Wayfarer’s Quiz." Input the answers for the four sites you visited, fill out your contact information, respond to a few simple questions about your visit, and select "Submit." Don’t have a computer??? Local libraries provide convenient access to all. The winning History Travelers will be notified after the drawing and your $25 prepaid gasoline “gift” card will mailed to you.
As this year’s event coincides again with a three day weekend (Columbus Day), why not plan to stay overnight at one of our many fine hotels providing a well deserved break for yourself after a long, and perhaps, stressful workweek. Treat yourself, along with someone special in your life, or your whole family, to an enjoyable relaxing weekend getaway. And the best part of it all is that you’ll still have that one additional day to catch up on household chores or yard work….eliminating the usual “2-day weekend” feeling of guilt for time otherwise spent on pleasurable pursuits.
