HOCKING HILLS, Ohio (Sept. 9, 2009) - The Hocking Hills Tourism Association announced the launch of its contest that will give the winner a full weekend retreat for two in the Hocking Hills. Participants can enter the viral contest via the Hocking Hills Tourism Association's
Facebook page where they share the worst gift they've ever received.
"Imagine this: Maybe it was an anniversary. You were expecting something special - a romantic dinner, perhaps, or maybe a trip to the jewelry store for a custom designed piece," said Hocking Hills Tourism Association Executive Director Karen Raymore. "But, alas, you found yourself sitting in a booth at a dumpy chain restaurant, opening a hand-wrapped box containing a sweater that was knitted especially for you by your mother-in-law. Moment, day, week and potentially relationship - ruined. Hocking Hills Visitors Bureau has decided that all the terrible gifts out there are worth something after all and we want to know the worst of the worst."
The unique contest sends participants to the Hocking Hills Tourism Association Facebook page to submit their worst gift story. Participants follow these steps to enter the contest:
--Post your story of the "Worst Gift Ever" on the contest page.
--All stories posted on Facebook will be kept on page.
--People will decide to "Like" the stories they think demonstrate the worst gift ever.
--Hocking Hills will make a final decision on the winner, based largely on the people's choice.
The winner of Hocking Hill's contest will receive two nights in a luxury cabin at Deer Mountain Retreat, The Grouse Nest Traveling Chef will come to the cabin to prepare a gourmet dinner one night, dinner for two at the Millstone one night, tickets for two on the Hocking Hills Canopy Tour Zipline Adventure, tickets for two on the Hocking Hills Nature Trails ATV Adventure, in-cabin couples massage and a welcome basket in the cabin with goodies and souvenirs.
