I sent a PM to Mary but wanted to tell everyone that my DVD arrived this afternoon and I am looking forward to looking at it.  I'll probably be looking at it several times particularly when our bears go off-cam again.  Hopefully, the rest of the prize winners will be getting the DVD today or soon also.  BTW, mine came via UPS Ground from Cincinnati, Ohio so you can gauge the time from that.   I laughed when I saw the address and had to do a MapQuest trip check - found out the Cincinnati fullfillment address is only 45 miles from my house (about a 48 minute drive). 

So. . . thanks National Geographic for the DVD.  It looks like a really great product and I really appreciate getting it.

 

 

Prize winners,

I received an email from Sharon this morning regarding the prizes:

We're checking on the shipment.  If they didn't make it out we'll
get them out immediately.  Sharon

Hi Kay and Patty,

I've asked Sharon Cowley to check on your videos. Please let me know when you receive it.

Thanks for your patience.

Mary

Hi Keith and Judy,

Let me send a message to the NG store to track this down. I guess I'm going to have to deliver it to you personally, (just kidding).

Take care,

Mary

Keith - I haven't received mine either.  I sent Mary a private message on 8/3, but I haven't heard from her so I did a post asking her to look at ther private messages.  Still haven't heard anything.

Just curious - who has received their prize, NG's Bear Island DVD? 

I'm really looking forward to getting it and watching.  Seems like it should have been sent by now and wonder if the post office people lost it.

Hi Keith, I got mine!

Mine is here too, it arrived yesterday, but I have to sign for it and is waiting for me to pick up - tomorrow !

I received mine just over 1 week ago. It's fabulous....really enjoyed it. Strange you guys haven't received yours yet, mine had to come through customs too.

I haven't received mine either.  I just figured it was probably slow mail.  I'm looking forward to watching it too.

Keith, I haven't received mine either...but there was a problem with them getting the info that I sent for the mailing. So hopefully you'll be getting it soon and you can tell us how fabulous it is! Karen said that it was a great documentary.

I too thank NG, Lisa & Mary for everything they do for us all. The bears are amazing & it's wonderful to be able to watch them in their own environment. Each has a personality of its own & I'm looking forward this season to being able to observe & hopefully be able to identify at least some of them.

Thank you, Brenda.

Thank you Mary and Lisa for all you do around here.  Thanks also to the NG Online Store for the wonderful prizes for the scavenger hunt.  It was fun and I was thrilled to be able to answer a question.

I was also happy to be able to figure out how to sign up and how to sign in and post a message  

The bears are marvelous and I'm looking forward to another season of bear-watching.

Thanks again. 

I'll add my thanks, too.  I am looking forward to watching the DVD and learning more about our bears!
