Oct Blog Contest Winner

Posted by Denise Vanausdoll on

We have our October Blog Contest winners!

Congratulation to Nancy and Dale from Spring Vally, CA. They have shared their story of "Joker Cruise"!

Even before my husband and I moved into a retirement village, people were asking us if we knew how to play "Joker". We thought we were going to be on the wrong side of a joke! (Marbles and Jokers are called just "Joker" for short here.) Right away we wanted to learn how to play! After we moved in, we found that lessons were available and we signed up.

There were about 6 tables set up and the tables filled quickly. Each table had an expert to teach us “newbies”. We loved the game so much we ordered our own game as a Christmas gift to ourselves.

Our neighbors, Al and Mary, had an idea to have a Joker Cruise to Hawaii. Four days at sea, four days at beautiful Hawaiian ports, and five days at sea on our route back to CA. Four couples were available to go, and did we ever have a blast! We played with all eight of us at a large round table. We thanked the Princess Line waiters who accommodated us after the lunch and dinner rush with a large round table whenever we walked in with our Joker box in hand. We would always get together at 1:30 and stop for dinner. We would make plans to be back sometime later that evening.

While we were playing, people would stop and watch us and wanted to know more about the game. We always gave your email address and many said they would order the game.One man stopped and said he ordered Marbles and Jokers that day! You could call us your ambassadors during that time on the ship.

And the rumor is that Al and Mary are planning another JOKER CRUISE!

Thank you Nancy and Dale for taking our game to sea, and sharing it with others. Maybe Princess Cruise will start up a "Joker Tournament" cruise theme!

Nancy and Dale have won a $75 Wizard Woodworks Gift Certificate that they plan to use towards Christmas gifts.  Be sure to keep sending in your stories, and we'll pick a new winner each month. You could be our next $75 winner for November!

Send us an Email or via our Contact Page and title it "Blog Contest" and we'll consider it for our next blog!

We look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,
Denise and Ron
