Wilkes-Barre, PA (August 25, 2009) Sundance Vacations gave away a free Las Vegas vacation to one Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers fan during the Conference Semi Finals game against the Kentucky Horseman at the Wachovia Arena on August 8th.
Alice Makowski was randomly picked among hundreds of fans who turned out for the Pioneers Semi Final Playoff game. The free vacation was a fan appreciation giveaway. Sundance Vacations gave the lucky fan and one guest free airfare for two, room accommodations to The Orleans hotel in Las Vegas, and tickets to the Pioneers game against Spokane Shock at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. “Oh my God, we’re going to Vegas,” boasted Makowski. “I won the Sundance Vacations free trip to Las Vegas, my family and I are living proof. My dream is really true thanks to Sundance Vacations. I really wanted to see the Pioneers play in the finals,” added Makowski.
Sundance Vacations is a proud sponsor of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers and congratulates the team on their fantastic 2008-2009 season. Look for Sundance Vacations at select upcoming Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins games.
