Attention BeadQuest 4 Attendees!!

Thanks so much for making BQ4 the biggest and best BeadQuest ever!!!  In our ever-ongoing quest to provide you with great Customer Service, we wanted to make the following announcement..

In the first 2 years of BeadQuest, our plan was to give Raffle Entries to everyone who collected all 9 beads.  However, this did NOT work out well.  Having 700 to 1,000 people who have been crawling for 10 hours come into one spot to show our customer service people their chests and all the beads they got, and make judgment calls / have arguments, etc, and try to do all this and fill out the entries all at once… just did NOT work out well, for obvious reasons.  Also, when we drew raffle entries on stage at Karaoke, and tried to call names or numbers, with all the loudness and chaos, that also caused problems.  So our solution, implemented in 2010, was to give EVERYONE who registered a raffle entry, draw that evening, and then call everyone who did not claim their prize on the spot – and – since you might not hear the announcement, NOT make you be present to win.  We’ve just announced all 30+ winners, and hope you will all enjoy your prizes.

However, a couple of people did point out to me that there was a sentence buried on our web site, referring to the fact that you’d get an extra raffle entry if you collected all 9 beads. Although this was referring to the previous years of the event, we do see how it could have been misinterpreted.  So in light of this, we are doing the following……….

IF YOU COLLECTED ALL 9 OF THE OFFICIAL NUMBERED DISC BEADS (and we assume of course that you still have them!!!) – You can win Free Tickets for our Next, Upcoming Event on April 28, COVER YOUR BASES 4, our Baseball-Themed, Sticker-Collecting Pub Crawl in Wrigleyville.  All you have to do is take a picture of YOU with ALL 9 of your BEADS and your ADMISSION BADGE, and post it to our FACEBOOK PAGE. Rules are:

The First 5 People to Post Before Midnight Central Time on Sunday, February 26th will win FOUR TICKETS TO COVER YOUR BASES!!!

The Next 10 People after that to Post Before Midnight Central Time on Sunday, February 26th will win TWO TICKETS TO COVER YOUR BASES!!!

The Next 40 People after that to Post Before Midnight Central Time on Sunday, February 26th will win ONE TICKET TO COVER YOUR BASES!!!

Pictures must be tasteful and non-obscene, and SHOW THE FACE of the Person Doing the Posting!

Thanks so much, and we will be posting all of our pictures from BeadQuest Very Shortly!!!

The BeadQuest Beads

Congratulations to Our BEADQUEST 4 Raffle Winners!!!!!!!!!!!!

Note – These prizes were drawn at 9PM the Day of BeadQuest from the Raffle Tumbler at Murphy’s Bleachers, posted at Murphy’s, and are now posted here on our blog.  We have called all the Winners, and are in the process today of calling ALL THE WINNERS AGAIN who have not claimed their prize.  We have removed the last names to protect your privacy.  If we are unable to connect with you within the next 3 days, we will re-draw from the raffle entries for the unclaimed prizes — if you see your name here and think it is you, call us at 773 478 3378.  Thanks!!!
