Every prize pack is different, as those members who have won in the past and have compared notes have probably realized. We like to shake things up and keep it fresh. Keeps people guessing that way!!

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.

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!

[/b]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.

Prize pack was waiting for me when I went to get my mail today (Box was FULL ) Inside was a Luggage Tag (same of which I had bought from in the past so Roland knew I would like), a two part refrigerator magnet/photo holder, a key chain, and two lovely Lighthouse hat pins. WOW what a package! Thank You Roland! I love it ALL!

Glad you like the prizes Stephanie. The pins are from Waugashance and Cedar Island which were provided to us by Mary Heuvelhorst and Bob Scroope. Still have a few of those left for future winners......

Sorry I didn't think to name the pins.
And Thank You too Bob for providing them to Roland for use in the prize packages. They are perfect... and have been added to my Hat Pin Collection.

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? http://www.thecapecodstore.com/guess_the_lighthouse.html

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???? http://www.thecapecodstore.com/guess_the_lighthouse.html

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, has another month gone by?? This month's mystery lighthouse photo is definitely not as well known as September's. It did, however, win a rather prestigeous award for its restoration group in August, (a hint, perhaps???) Can you Guess-the-Lighthouse??? http://www.thecapecodstore.com/guess_the_lighthouse.html

Ok, so where did everyone go last month??? Was our mystery photo that difficult??? Looks like we really stumped everyone as we had the lowest amount of entries EVER since we started this contest!! 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.

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.

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? http://www.thecapecodstore.com/guess_the_lighthouse.html

It's been a number of months since a member of these forums has won our monthly Guess-the-Lighthouse photo contest. The drought is over! Was it you? See for yourself and check out this month's mystery photo and try to Guess-the-Lighthouse! (And while you're at it, be sure to check out our inventory of nearly 1500 gift items! Many are quite unique and hard to find anywhere else!) http://www.thecapecodstore.com/guess_the_lighthouse.html

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?). Can you Guess-the-Lighthouse? http://www.thecapecodstore.com/guess_the_lighthouse.html

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? http://www.thecapecodstore.com/guess_the_lighthouse.html

Thanks for keeping up your monthly challenge, Roland. Hopefully you are getting decent response from this great educational challenge.
Think I read something not long ago about one of the Texas Towers being a lab for a university program.
