My dream is to go to an Avalanche game, but my parents are always saying it is too expensive.  If me and my friends went to an Avs game it would be the best experience of a game, I've ever been to.  It would be a great birthday present because my birthday is the week before the game.  If I win this prize my family will sure be embarrased that a nine year old kid beat them, but I will take them to the game anyway, and tell them it's not too expensive for me.  If I win my friends will be stunned of what I've done and will want to come for sure, and I will definately invite some of them.  I can't imagine what my teacher will think of my writing if I win.  An Avs game is one game I've wanted to go to FOREVER!!!!!  Please Pick Me!!!!!
