Fall Fest 2019 is in the books, and we were excited to see more than 450 registered attendees join us at Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center. The biggest event in SCACPA history is complete, and we were glad that many of our members and guests went home with some nice prizes.
Thanks to all of you who entered a guess in our Candy Jar Contest. We filled both a two-and-a-half-gallon jug and a one-gallon jug with bags of Gold Mine and Coal Mine bubble gum nuggets. The correct number of bags in the big jar was 100 bags while the correct number of bags in the small jar was 42 bags.
For the big candy jar, two SCACPA members guessed there were 99 bags. A random drawing of their names during Friday’s luncheon means that Phillip Parker, CPA, University of South Carolina at Lancaster, won the grand prize of the SCACPA folding wagon. Tracy Hilke, CPA, Southeastern Freight Lines, won the consolation prize of the 100 bags of gum.
For the small candy jar, two SCACPA members correctly guessed there were 42 bags. Another random drawing means that Marcia Smeenk, CPA, won a $100 Amazon gift card. Harris Darver, CPA, of DarverKelly won the consolation prize of the 42 bags of gum.
