Drawing: ValleyCats championship tickets (+ballpark food)
The ValleyCats take on the State College Spikes at The Joe in the NY-Penn League Championships tomorrow.
The Tri-City ValleyCats have reached the New York-Penn league Championships, and on Tuesday night, win or lose, they'll play their last home game of the 2013 season (games 2 and, if necessary, 3 will be played at State College PA.)
We have a four-pack of tickets for the tomorrow's game, that include food vouchers -- and we're giving them away, maybe to you.
To enter, please answer this question in the comments:
The end of the ValleyCats season is reminder that another summer has come and -- nearly-- gone. What's your favorite memory of the summer of 2013?
We'll pick one winner at random. That person will get a package that includes four tickets to Tuesday's game, plus vouchers for each person to get:
+ 1 beer or soda
+ 1 hot dog
+ 1 bag of chips
+ 1 ice cream sundae
Tuesday's game starts at 7 pm. Tickets to the game are still available and start at $5.50 online or $6.50 on game day.

This summer I took a trip with two other women and two boys under the age of 12, from here to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, back down through Ohio and Western NY, touching each Great Lake on our way. It was a road trip of epic proportions and I will never forget it!

Camping on Brown Tract Pond in the ADK. Nothing beats having a waterfront site, a canoe ride to an island, and a plethora of hiking opportunities nearby except maybe tickets to a playoff (minor league) baseball game.

Seeing Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me! at Tanglewood! The show was great, and it was interesting to hear how much they record versus what's compiled into the final show. It was also my first time to Tanglewood, and I wish that it had been earlier in the summer so that I knew I should plan to go more often. Now I need to wait until next summer!

This summer, my wife and her family went to Tanzania, which in and of itself was amazing--but the best part was witnessing a lioness take down a gazelle about 30 feet from our car. Best summer ever? Definitely.

My favorite memory of summer is road trips with friends blasting music with the windows down. A road trip to the 1000 islands tops the list.
