Announcing the winner of two free tickets to Friday’s Toby Keith and Trace Adkins concert at Tampa’s Ford Amphitheatre!
June 24th, 2009 by Cooper Levey-Baker in Arts, Editor's Desk, Music, News, Sarasota-Manatee
Amidst a flurry of last-second entries in our ticket giveaway contest for this Friday’s big Toby Keith/Trace Adkins show at Tampa’s Ford Amphitheatre, we have decided upon a winner! Drum roll, please…
The winner is… Shari Elliott! Why? Well, a) she followed the contest rules and both posted a comment in the comments section and emailed us her contact information, and b) she told quite a touching story:
I know this is going to sound ridiculous but I am now battling breast cancer for the third time (yes, I can send you pathology report as proof), and my husband is just the most supportive hubby in the world! He and I both LOVE Trace and Toby and would give anything to enjoy a little country in the middle of my treatment.
I want to reward him for all of the wonderful things he has done for me and continues to stand by my side, even when I am crabby. We have 2 small children that he has stepped up to the plate and really keeps them busy when I really need some healing time.
And yes, this would be for ME too! I absolutely would be drooling over both Trace and Toby…woohooooo. Because of mounting medical bills, we just don’t have the money to spend.
Thanks for your consideration. Oh, I am attaching my hubby’s 3 day /60 mile komen walk link that he is doing this year by himself in my honor!

I am convinced that everything happens for a reason…and last night I could not get the following message to go through, I kept getting error messages. Shari it was meant for you to win and I hope that you have great success with your treatment. I hope you get to read this and hear my reply to win the tickets. Your story made me realize the truth in “no matter how bad you think you have it someone always has it worse” Here is my reply that would not take last night:
