Hello, I'm a long-time Banjo Hangout member, and I need the community's help. Please vote to help my family win a Disney vacation!

We created a funny video of our cute daughters in the Bob Evans Super Spud Sing Along contest. We're one of six finalists, and whoever gets the most votes wins!

Our three daughters are the stars of the video. Lucy is only three years old, but she learned the lyrics to the jingle and led the singing. Her little sisters Bridget and Anne joined her in performing and pretending to be immersed in a giant tub of mashed potatoes!

You can vote once per day through the whole month of December. Go to bit.ly/i3ZDy4 and on the left side of the screen, enter your email address and click the big red button. Unfortunately, the first time you'll have to fill out a registration form. Then click our video (Cute Sisters by Veronica Herr) and the Vote button underneath it. Thanks for your help!

-Ryan.


PS: If you have any concerns about filling out the registration form, I understand, but I read their privacy policy and it says that "BobEvans.com does not sell, rent, or trade the information that you provide to us at this Web site." And they won't send you any email, as long as you un-check the box labeled "I would like to sign up to receive exclusive monthly offers from Bob Evans." Thanks!

Okay, Ryan, I had a little time to kill...logged on and voted. If those cute kids of yours don't win, the contest is rigged.

So I cannot vote.

Well, I tried. I can't get past that stupid "type in the characters" question at the end.
I type it exactly as I see it (not hard at all), but it rejects what I type,
and gives me another one to type which gets rejected also once I enter it. Grrrrrrrrr!!

I am having that problem, too!

You gotta type in the space (with the space bar). It was annoying, but works. Ryan, when you win, send us a picture of the mouse ears on the kids. Heck, I'll start a collection and we'll pay for the ears.

Done, Ryan. Hope they win. They sure look like winners to me. I raised two daughters and have two little granddaughters, so they sure caught my attention.

Sure, you can. I just entered something that looks like a US address. I wouldn't give them my actual address anyway...

I hadn't realized that only those with US addresses were allowed to vote. I apologize for not being aware of that and not making it clear up-front.

phb, while I do truly appreciate your enthusiasm and support, at the same time I want to be sure that we play by the rules. So please, no voters from outside the US. Again, I apologize. Thanks for your understanding!

We won! Thanks, Banjo Hangout!

Good news: Thanks to your votes, our family won the Bob Evans Super Spud Sing Along contest! We recently received an email confirming we won the grand prize, a trip to Disney World, which we're planning on taking in January 2012.

We couldn't have done it without your overwhelming support! We estimate that our video received nearly 9,000 votes during the month of December, 2.5 times as many as the next runner-up. Thanks again for viewing our video, voting for us, and spreading the word - we truly appreciate it!

-Ryan, Veronica, Lucy, Bridget, and Anne Herr.
