The Queen of Hearts was not drawn, but Ian was still a winner with a $25 gift certificate from the South Padre Island Farmer's Market - our October Consolation Prize Sponsor.
Thank you Ian for participating in the drawing and to South Padre Island Farmer's Market for being the October Consolation Prize Sponsor.
