Hello Ed, sorry about the confusion. I did not realize that you had already requested an entry form. All requests were sent out immdeiately, with the possible exception of those that caught us during Hurricane George. Btw., the info about the contest was on the event's Web site for more than 8 months, and many sites, including FireGirl, link to it with text links and/or banners. For organisational purposes, there had to be a deadline, which happened to be October 1. I am very sorry you missed the deadline, and I honestly hope to see you at the FLorida Fiery Foods Show! And it sure is not a tight-knit thing, as a matter of fact, we expect more than 5000 visitors. Hope to see y'all there! The Florida Fiery Foods Show, btw. is this weekend.
