I would like to be a part of the New Year’s Eve Block Party is because I believe and would want to be a part of something exciting because of all the bad luck I have gotten this year (was hospitalized for about half a month during September (and the fact that I had to miss school for the first quarter)). So being part of the New Year’s Eve Block Party would be a great turn-a-round for me to end my year on something great and ring in the new year to a better future!! Also, my return to school which I am looking forward to (which is most better than most students since the new year means the end of their winter break, but for me it would the end of this extended vacation and hopefully onward to the road of normality of my daily life as if I had not been in the hospital). This is why I would like to be a part of the New Year’s Eve Block Party.

Being a combat veteran, last new year I celebrated it with rocket attacks into our camp, so this coming new year I would like to celebrate it with cheers.
Mad Hungry Woman says
Congratulations Lisa. You are the winner to the tickets!

This would be fun because I love food trucks and I couldn’t stay up last year to ring in the new year.

Pick me pick me!!! I met you at the ChunknChip Cookie Contest, where you were the judge
(remember my Occupied Oatmeal creations?). Before then I hadn’t seen your blog and I love it! (You have a new fan).
My husband and I are out of work and trying to stretch every dime. I’m not gonna spin a hard luck story because though money is tight we are blessed in many ways.We just celebrated our 18 wedding anniversary and a have a amazingly wonderful 15 year old son.
The tickets to the Block Party would be a great way to ring in the new year together since we are crazy about the food trucks, love the OC Fair and we are hungry for a happy 2012!

I’ve moved out to the east coast for school and I miss my family back in California so much. I’m finally visiting for the holiday! Please pick me 🙂

it sounds more fun than watching the ball drop on TV

Due to having young kids, I have not been able to go to a NYE party in YEARS, but this will be the first year that my husband and I will get babysitters so that we can actually go OUT and enjoy NYE in style! The OC Fair block party would be the perfect way to celebrate sans kids!

I went to the NYE Block Party at the OC Fairgrounds 2 years ago and it was a lot of fun(even though the weather was only about 38 degrees). It’s by far one of the absolute best NYE party events in So Cal. I would love to go to it this year and I would especially love to win this contest for those 2 tickets!
Sean solomon says
I would like the tickets because i have nowhere to go for new years and i never win anything
Gordon Miller says
rather than try and guilt you into it, I would like to go because it sounds like a fun time and I need to eat at some of those food trucks for the first time
Shari says
We never go out for New Years because our kids have been too young to stay alone. Now they do their thing and we want to do something exciting.
