Congratulations to Kelly Compton — Winner of the Flakes Trip Giveaway 2013

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Wild West Saloon on Saturday night for the 18th Annual Breakfast Flakes Trip Giveaway Party.  Mark and Paul want to thank each and everyone of you for an amazing 25 year run on the air. Cat Country listeners are the biggest, and by far, the best group of people in Billings.

This year's winner was Kelly Compton.  He and his lovely wife Kim will be packing their bags for Cancun early next year.

As the field of 50 finalists was narrowed down to the top 10, Kelly had an unique strategy.  Instead of standing on the dance floor with everyone else, he hid in the corner behind one of our decorative palm trees.

The night began with Mark and Paul drawing names from the giant entry box.  The first 45 finalists were selected.

In an incredible stroke of luck, last year's winner was one of the finalists again this year.

After the first 45 finalists were chosen, the real fun and games began.  Starting with Paul's version of the "Price is Right".

Next up, Mark played a multiple choice game that we thought would never end.  The two final contestants kept picking the same number until we eventually run out of questions and had to start making them up.

Then it was time to play Spin the Bottle.  10 contestants were called up and took turns eliminating each other until a finalist emerged.

One of the highlights of the evening was Paul's version of "The Voice", which we used to pick the 50th finalist.  George Straight's timeless classic "Amarillo by Morning" will never be the same.

And then there were 50....

Then came the hard part, puling numbers and dashing dreams.  Thankfully, all 50 finalists received a prize bag from our friends at the Travel Cafe and Briggs Distributing.

In the end, there can only be one and Kelly Compton's "hide behind the palm tree" strategy paid off.  Here he is receiving his trip certificate from our Townsquare Media-Billings General Manager Don Oylear.

Thanks again to everyone who helped make the 18th Annual Flakes Trip another big success.  Just wait until you see what we've got cooking for next year.
