A look back at our 2021 grand prize winner!
I went to Space Camp and Space Academy when I was younger. So last year when the chance to win tickets to the Space and Rocket Center came up during Employee Appreciation week, I jumped at the chance to try to win. I had been wanting to take my son to show him what I got to do when I was a kid. I have very fond memories of my weeks at Space Camp. I was very grateful to win and this past July my husband and I finally got to take our son. We all had a blast. Here are just a few pictures (and one from my Space Camp Graduation from back in the day). I also had the best time doing the activities to win them – Employee Appreciation week is one of my favorite weeks at work!
P.S. My Team won for best Rocket Launch.
