Guess-the-Lighthouse - 11/15/08 06:10 AM

Hi Everyone.
First of all, on behalf of all HL dealers, I'd like to thank Rich, Daniel, John, Tony, and all of the rest of the forum members who thought this was a good idea and caused this dealers' forum to become reality. Though you've heard the horror stories of some bad dealers out there, and some of you may be skeptical of all dealers, there are many, many very reputable dealers out there as well, as I'm sure you will see through this forum. I'm sure you will find many who welcome this opportunity as much as Terry and I do.
Many of you have read my posts over the last year, or so on the dealer perspective of issues which concern us all. I've also been priveledged to service a number of you through the website and hooked up a few of you with some very special HL lighthouses.
I will soon be telling you all about our complete line of HL merchandise and what we have to offer you as a collector, but first I thought that many of you may have fun with a monthly contest we run called Guess-the-Lighthouse. Each month we post a new mystery lighthouse photo and ask you to identify it. It's free to play and we give out some nice lighthouse prizes each month to one random winner from all correct entries.
Can you Guess-the-Lighthouse?

Thank you Roland for your kind words, but, you missed a key player in the organization, talks with Tony and finally the initial setup of the Dealer's Forum. I'm talking about Retired Navy Chief Dave. Hopefully, this Forum will be useful and we can have many dealers post. You scratch our backs and we'll scratch yours so to speak.
Posted By: DANIEL

Re: Guess-the-Lighthouse - 11/15/08 03:55 PM

Yes
Don't forget Dave.
Dave was a very important asset in putting this all together.
Dave as usual works quietly behind the curtain making sure everything works and is done right, giving no glory to himself.

Back to the dealers

As I have said before. The dealers are a very important part of our collecting and before the Forums all I had was my dealer to help me thru collecting Harbour Lights. This part of the forum will hopefully bind back the gap that has happened between collectors and dealers.

As usual I always enjoy reading Rolands Post.

My humblest apologies to Dave. There was no malice meant in his omission. Just a little grease on the wheels of the brain which cause the cogs to slip every now and then! By all means his importance to these forums are recognized by its members. Forgive me Chief, for I have sinned!!!

I know a number of the members of this forum entered our Guess-the-Lighthouse photo contest in November, (In fact, one of this forum's members was randomly chosen as the winner). Last month's winner has now been posted and a new mystery photo has gone up for the month of December.
Here is the link to see if you were the winner and to view this month's mystery Guess-the-Lighthouse photo.

Re: Guess-the-Lighthouse - 12/11/08 03:38 PM

I have just received my prize for winning the November contest. Yes, it was an easy guess, and then names were entered for a drawing.

And December's is an easy guess. Dana & Roland promise more challenging photos are coming.

But, easy or challenging, it's well worth the entry. I won't tell you the contents of the package, in case they plan to repeat it for the next winner.

I WILL tell you, go to the web site and ENTER!

Many thanks to The Cape Cod Store. I will most definitely enjoy my prize!! smile

Re: Guess-the-Lighthouse - 01/01/09 04:58 PM

Happy New Year everyone!
For the many forum members who entered last month's contest, our December Guess-the-Lighthouse winner has been announced, and this month's mystery photo has been posted. The last two months have featured very recognizable lighthouses, Montauk Point and Nubble. This month's isn't quite as recognizable, but in no way is it an obscure one, (Dana may have a trick up her sleeve for one or two of those real toughies later in the year, though).
Thanks to all of you who have participated.
Can you Guess-the-Lighthouse this month?

I'm happy to report that once again, a member of these forums was randomly chosen from all correct entries to receive our great lighthouse prize pack! Congrats to forum member.........

For the month of February, Dana has come up with a doozy for y'all! Many of you have asked for a challenge, well I think she responded with one!

"A Doozy", I almost had that guessed in 4 seconds....
This is fun, looking forward to Dana's picks every month!

Re: Guess-the-Lighthouse - 02/05/09 01:11 AM

So far this month we've gotten some correct answers to the mystery photo, but based on the past few months it appears that this is a tougher one as the responses are much lower than they have been. Maybe an easy one for you, but not so easy for others.
Glad you're enjoying it Christopher. I rather enjoy seeing what she's come up with each month as well. We're having loads of fun with it on this end. Hope everyone else enjoys it as much!

Re: Guess-the-Lighthouse - 02/10/09 08:56 PM

My prize package just arrived and I definitely have to agree with Judy...well worth the effort!!!
Thank you Roland and Dana!!!
I won't spill the beans either...but a lot of thought went into the package. I am thrilled with what I received and thrilled that they are offering this contest!!

By the way Dave, it took me awhile but I finally figured out where I saw this light.... biglaugh

So glad you like the prizes Debbie. Yes, Dana and I do put some thought into the prize packs. I'll let her know you got it and how much you like it.

OK, so who's next? This month's mystery photo is still out there, and only a limited amount of correct entries have been received thus far. Come Guess-the-Lighthouse and check out our site!

Re: Guess-the-Lighthouse - 03/01/09 03:19 PM

It's that time again when last month's Guess-the-Lighthouse winner is announced and this month's mystery photo has been revealed. Due to the challenge of last month's photo, (to many, not all), Dana has chosen a much more distinctive lighthouse to post this month. It's probably going to be a breeze to nearly all of the forums members, but we also have to keep our general public interested in the contest, as well. Too many hard ones and the casual lighthousing public gets turned off. Gotta give everyone a chance! So even if you are one of those "newbies" to lighthousing, I think this one may be more recognizable to you!
If you entered last month, come visit to see if you've won, and let me know if this is truly an easy one this month.

Re: Guess-the-Lighthouse - 04/01/09 01:23 PM

Another month is here and another lighthouse photo has been posted. Surprisingly, last month's mystery photo was more difficult than Newport News Middle Ground was in February. Correct entries were fewer in March than in February.
Dana has chosen a lighthouse this month which I'm sure will be an easily recognizable one for almost every lighthouse fan. She thought that an easier one would give more people a chance at this month's prize pack.
And oh, by the way, a Forums member won last month's contest!

As a new lighthouse ??? I had to look up this months lighthouse. I found it quickly. Easy is subjective Point Sur or Cabrillo I would have known,but looking it up was fun. I look forward to more.

Re: Guess-the-Lighthouse - 04/02/09 09:36 AM

What a nice surprise to win! Seeing Point Sur in that picture just reminded me about the "little climb" you have to make just to get to it. However, it is truly worth it.

Re: Guess-the-Lighthouse - 06/01/09 01:07 PM

Congratulations to a member of these forums who was chosen as last month's Guess-the-Lighthouse mystery photo contest winner!!!!
May's mystery lighthouse photo must have been tougher than we thought. Lots and lots of viewers stopping by, but entries were down from the previous few months. Also wrong entries were slightly higher than normal. Goes to show that one never knows which lighthouses may not be as recognizable as one thinks!
June's mystery lighthouse photo may fall into that category as well. I think it's one which is recognizable, but then again......
Catch this month's photo and see which member won May's contest.

Thanks Loon!

I like this monthly contest, it is not only engaging in which collectors and lighthouse enthusiasts can take part in, and learn new lights that they may not have know, but to be able to win a prize is GREAT!

Thanks to Roland and Dana in creating and administering this monthly contest and for the opportunity to potential win. Looking forward to seeing something in the mail. (hee hee)

Dana has passed on to me that last month, she got a number of entrants who told her that her mystery photos are very easy to identify. She has posted one this month which is very much a more obscure light than other posts. OK, here's your chance, are you as familiar with the country's lighthouses as you think you are?

Re: Guess-the-Lighthouse - 08/02/09 06:02 AM

Roland, whatever light Dana picks still gets people involved. For all that may know it right away I bet there are many more who have to do some research to sort it out. And by doing that research they will learn more and more lights by sight. So, I believe that you and Dana are doing the lighthouse community a service by encouraging people to learn the lights.

Congrats to Art.

Re: Guess-the-Lighthouse - 08/02/09 02:29 PM

That's the whole idea behind the Guess-the-Lighthouse game. Every month we get entrants who thank us for teaching them more about lighthouses than they could have learned on their own. We try to bring a little fun to the learning process, along with the incentive of winning a cool prize pack. And the more people know about lighthouses, the more they appreciate them and the efforts of lighthouse preservation groups.

Re: Guess-the-Lighthouse - 08/04/09 04:12 AM

See, Laura is learning! There are almost always going to be those that have been to the light in question or who recognize it from their own previous studies. But there are also those like Laura who go thru a number of states to find the right light! And, that is what the purpose of the contest is.

For those of you who had a hard time with August's, this month's mystery photo should be much, much easier. Dana thought that after all that work last month everyone needed a break! So, can you Guess-the-Lighthouse?

What's up with this DIffERENT format???
Posted By: The Cape Cod Store.com

Re: Guess-the-Lighthouse - 04/09/10 04:25 PM

The format remains the same, the prize pack differs from month to month. If possible, we try to customize it for the winner, i.e. something which depicts a lighthouse from their area. Also, we receive certain limited items at times, (like the lighthouse lapel pins), which we will add to the prizes. We also come across other items given to us as samples, etc. from our suppliers which we feel may not work for our site, but would still be of value to a contest winner. Or we may find something from a new supplier which we feel would work well in the prize packs. All sorts of reasons why each prize pack is different.
Posted By: wvlights0

Re: Guess-the-Lighthouse - 04/09/10 04:46 PM

Roland does a great job of customizing. When I got my prize pack, he knew I was going to the NJLHC soon with my sister. Among other things, there was a Sandy Hook scrimshaw type refrigerator magnet, AND 2 lighthouse visors for my sister and I. Those will be going on every lighthouse trip we take together. Hopefully the next trip will have some sunshine so we can use them. Thank you again Roland!

Just to make the 'dealer page' different from the rest, I guess.

This was an older version of the page design that was used several years ago. I was out of town when the Dealer's Page was added and the person who added this Forum chose a different design from the standard one.

Another month, another lighthouse. Dana's down this week so I got to choose a rather tough one for this month's drawing. Can you Guess-the-Lighthouse?

Due to Dana's illness and some personal issues on my end, the May Guess-the-Lighthouse contest was extended throughout the month of June. In case you haven't noticed, a new mystery lighthouse photo was posted for July. Can you Guess-the-Lighthouse?

Re: Guess-the-Lighthouse - 07/10/10 06:55 AM

Dana is coming along. Long road, but she's on schedule. Thanks for asking.

Re: Guess-the-Lighthouse - 08/02/10 06:07 AM

OK, the demise of the Guess-the-Lighthouse contest has been greatly exaggerated! True, due to Dana's health issues and my personal challenges, the Lighthouse Club newsletter has been "suspended" and May's Guess-the-Lighthouse contest was carried over an extra month. But the show goes on!
July's winner has been announced, (well, waddya know? Look who won!!), and a new mystery lighthouse photo has been posted. Can you Guess-the-Lighthouse????

Well, congrats to the winner (I won't list his name just in case he hasn't checked yet). It is a Hoosier Lighthousing Club member.

And, Roland & Dana, thanks for your efforts to help people learn about lighthouses. Sometimes it takes a little bit of a challenge to get folks interested in a little research.

Wow!! It's me!!! Sure wasn't expecting this this soon. I was chosen in the first contest but had the popular lighthouse name instead of the official lighthouse name and was disqualified. I always look up my answers now. I figured it would take quite awhile to get back to me again!! My luck isn't that good usually. And thanks Dave for not spoiling the surprize. And thanks Roland, I'll be watching the mail for my prize.

This has been quite a lot of fun for us and a way to introduce people to both our site and lighthouses in general. Of course we'd like to make customers out of the players, and a number of them have become customers, but my personal goal is also to help teach those who may be just "casual" lighthouse fans the importance and history of lighthouses throughout the world. The more one knows, the more one cares about saving them.

WOW, I knew last month's would be a challenge but I didn't think it was that unrecognizable....right Dave???
OK this month's should be somewhat easier for most folks. Can you Guess-the-Lighthouse?

Re: Guess-the-Lighthouse - 11/02/10 04:45 AM

When I saw last month's picture, I sent Roland links to the stories I wrote about visiting DeTour Reef with my daughter Heather and fellow Hoosier LH Club members Jake and Gloria. This is one of the very few off-shore lights that you can visit. Some great history about this light.

I again have to commend Roland for hosting this ongoing opportunity for folks all over to learn their lighthouses! Even those times where I might not know exactly which light is shown I can often narrow it down to a certain area based on the image, and can then search thru the lights in that area (if that makes sense....) And, from what you contest winners have posted, the Cape Cod Store puts together a very nice package for the winners.

Re: Guess-the-Lighthouse - 12/01/10 03:31 PM

Ok, so December is here, which means we historically post an easily identifiable lighthouse in our contest. Sort of gives people a break during a very busy month while there is so much other stuff on the plate. Well, this month we post not one, but two, mystery lighthouses! But don't worry, posting both only makes it easier!!
So, can you Guess-the-Lighthouse?

Re: Guess-the-Lighthouse - 07/01/11 02:11 PM

OK, June's mystery lighthouse was among the toughest we've ever had, (according to the number of correct entries received). The winner had to really earn her prize as she told us she had to do a LOT of searching through our Lighthouse Encyclopedia in order to find the right lighthouse, (that's what the Lighthouse Encyclopedia is there for, learning about lighthouses!). Anyway, July's mystery lighthouse should be a tad easier, (or is it?).

Another month, another winner! Last month's lighthouse was easily confused with a few other similar lighthouses in the same area, but still a great percentage of those who entered our contest got it right, (perhaps they utilized our Lighthouse Encyclopedia?). This month's lighthouse should be a familiar one to many of the members of these Forums. Can you Guess-the-Lighthouse?
