Forest Preserve Family Fun Pack Giveaway
July 27, 2009

Today, the Forest Preserve District of Cook County (FPDCC) announced the launch of its "Forest Preserve Family Four Pack Giveaway," part of its "68,000 Acres of Adventure" public awareness campaign.

"So many families are looking for affordable ways to entertain the kids - or even the parents - during the summer months," said FPDCC General Superintendent Dr. Steven M. Bylina, Jr. With that in mind, we decided to offer the public a giveaway where winners will receive a prize pack that includes something for the whole family can enjoy throughout the last days of summer."

Each prize pack contains something for everyone in the family:

· Four (4) free admission passes to the Brookfield Zoo, plus one (1) free parking voucher;

· One (1) free parking pass to the Chicago Botanic Garden (admission to the Garden is always free);

· One (1) free voucher for a free golf foursome at any one of the District's ten (10) golf courses; and

· One (1) voucher redeemable for a free 2010 FPDCC Family Swim Pass. The pass, which will be redeemable next spring, will allow any family, up to five (5) individuals, to swim for free all summer long during the 2010 FPDCC swim season!

Participants may enter the contest in three easy steps::

(1) Participants MUST join the FPDCC facebook group page);

(2) Participants MUST also join the FPDCC facebook fan page; and

(3) Participants MUST send an email to Contest@soclose2you.org. The subject line MUST read: "Contest Entry" and the email MUST contain Your name, a valid mailing address (including street address, city, state and zip code) and a working phone number. Participants should only send one email. Numerous additional email entries from single individuals will be deleted.

Twenty (20) prize packs will be given away throughout the month of August. The District will pull five (5) names at random every Friday in August and those winners will be notified by phone.

"It should be noted that no taxpayer dollars have been used for this promotion," said General Superintendent Steve Bylina. "The FPDCC thanks its co-sponsors - the Chicago Botanic Garden, the Brookfield Zoo and Billy Casper Golf - for their participation and incredible generosity to help make this promotion possible."

The Forest Preserve District of Cook County is landowner of the Brookfield Zoo and the Chicago Botanic Garden. Billy Casper Golf manages and maintains the FPDCC's 10 golf courses and four driving ranges.
