What's All the Excitement at Stellar?

As many of you know, there was a huge tent set up in the middle of GarageTown's Stellar Park facility a few weeks back. GarageTown USA recently sponsored the Arizona radio station KSLX and their Ultimate Garage Giveaway. We were all there under the tent at the Stellar Airpark facility as KSLX slowly eliminated finalists amidst live music and hundreds of radio station fans until one final winner was announced.

Thank you to our Garagetown USA Stellar Park community for being so supportive of this event. We were happy to see many of you enjoying drinks and munchies and some great music. Todd Graham won the KSLX Ultimate Garage Giveaway contest. We caught up with him to ask a few questions.

How did you hear about the giveaway? From listening to KSLX.

What item were you looking forward to winning most and why?
The motorcycle, I have been trying to save to buy some sort of bike for a long time.

How confident were you that you would become one of the finalist?
For some strange reason I had a gut feeling that I was going to make the finals for sure.

What was the first thought that went through your head when you realized you were one of only two finalists and one of you was about to be named winner? I was really nervous and I was telling myself to just stay calm and don't jinx it. I turned to the young lady that was the eventual runner up and told her "good luck".

Who's the first person you told when you learned you were a finalist and what was their reaction? My wife, she thought I was joking about it.

What was your immediate reaction when your name was called as the winner? What did your significant other do? WOW, I won! I put hand hands in the air and jumped around a bit. My wife and kid had gone down the street to McDonalds for a bite to eat and to enjoy the AC, it was hot that day. I called her and told her I won, she thought I was kidding. Again.

What are your favorite items out of everything you won? The Victory Motorcycle and the surround sound.

How many people have you told about winning and what was their reaction? I told about 50 people and they all think I just got really lucky.

Had you ever ridden a motorcycle before and have you taken the new one for a ride? I have ridden just a few times and I now take the new bike out for short trips. The first ride was around the neighborhood a few times and I took our son for a few laps.

How has all of this changed your life? I now have a big tax bill headed my way in April.

Do you listen to the station more? I have always listened to KSLX and I always will.

Have you ever won a contest before and what did you win? Many years ago I won a lift ticket to a small ski area in Colorado

Will you enter more contests now? No, I think I have won my share.

Thanks Todd, and if you need a place for your toys, you can always find a home for them at GarageTown USA AZ.
