New Home Contest

[Irish79]

As some of you are aware, my wife & I have been looking at houses to purchase like crazy the past few weeks. We saw 30 alone last week. And one really caught our eye, so we made an offer on Friday and it was accepted on Saturday. Yay!!!! So, to celebrate, I thought I would have a little contest.


Rules:
1 Both contests are open to members in good standing with 100 posts
2 The first person to post the correct answer wins that contest
3 The same person can win both contests
4 Edits will be disqualified
5 Each person is allowed one guess for Contest #1 and three guesses for Contest #2
6 I reserve the right to change the rules, add hints, etc.



Contest # 1 is over. Congratulations to victory01
What is our scheduled closing date? Our offer was accepted on Saturday, August 29. One guess
EDIT: If the exact scheduled date is not guessed, the closest date without going past will win.

Contest # 2
What zip code is our new house in? We purchased a home in Lancaster County, PA. This one will take a little research on your part. You are allowed 3 guesses.

I will update this post with the guesses. Good luck!
Dan

EDIT: If no one guesses Contest #2 correctly, I may allow extra guesses.

LOL. There aren't that many zip codes left. Come on! Dan WANTS to give you some cigars! Sheesh!

This gives me an idea for a contest though - something along the lines of..."I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100,000,000."

[Irish79]

And weren't you thinking of giving away one cigar for every guess it takes to win your contest Mark?

I'd give everyone some cigars if I could. lol But alas, I'm not as nice as badwhale.

I figure one of the previous participants of this thread should win when they log on tonight. Come on TravPSU. Step right up Roger. Take a shot denver24. Go for the sweep victory01. Make a guess ashauler.
