Win Free Admission to FGS Conference
Fun Stuff for Genealogists is the name of a company that sells a wide variety of items to genealogists. Now the company is giving away one free admission (valued at $185.00) to the annual conference of the Federation of Genealogical Societies. This year's event will be held September 7 through 10 in Salt Lake City
This is the second time that Bev Petersen of Fun Stuff for Genealogists has paid the admission of a genealogist to a national conference. John Carter of Georgia was the lucky winner of the NGS Nashville, Tennessee registration earlier this year.

RE: Win a free registration to the FGS conference:
I don't think this is a good deal at all. If I register to win the registration fee, and then don't win, I will have to sign up for the conference at full price of $189.00. However, if I register before July 26 (and before the winner of the free registration is announced) I pay only $159. If I register before July 26 and then do win I then have to cancel my early registration and would receive only the syllabus, no refund. Since I don't feel lucky, I'll sign up in early July.

No problem with the "I don't think this is a good deal at all". I'll make the closing date midnight, July 25th! I happen to be "on vacation" and will make the change on my web site when I get back next week. Always open to suggestions!

Do you really have to pay for the registration if you don't win the free one? I just looked at the registration webpage and I didn't see that in the rules. I would like to apply to win, but I don't want to pay for registration if I don't win.
