Fresh off the excitement of last year’s opening of the Barnstormer ride at Dollywood, some lucky Co-op customers have a chance to win tickets to experience the thrill for themselves.

From March 15 through April 14, customers can visit their local Co-ops and register to win two one-day, adult admissions to visit Dollywood during the 2012 operating season. In addition, an online sweepstakes during this same timeframe will award one grand prize that includes six 2012 season passes plus two nights’ lodging in Pigeon Forge. Everyone who enters has a chance to win great prizes. The giveaway is part of Tennessee Farmers Cooperative’s agreement to be the major sponsor of the Barnstormer ride.

“The Dollywood promotion is a great way for Co-ops across Tennessee to participate in an exciting partnership,” says Keith Harrison, TFC marketing, advertising, and promotions coordinator. “This is a successful method of reaching out to our members, customers, and potential customers. We are planning several other opportunities throughout Dollywood’s operating season.”

At the end of the promotional period, one entry will be drawn at random from each participating member Co-op, and TFC officials will randomly draw the online sweepstakes winner. The tickets and season passes will be mailed to the winners and can be used any time during the 2012 season.

To enter the drawing for Dollywood tickets, visit your local Co-op from March 15 through April 14 and ask for an entry form. To enter the season pass sweepstakes, visit http://www.ourcoop.com/ourcoop08/barnstormer/ or watch for posts on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/TennesseeFarmersCooperative.
