Entries have to be received by Midnight Christmas Eve 2014 (Eastern Standard Time), and winners will be drawn from those entries on Christmas Day.

This year's contest begins with a wordsearch puzzle as stolen from a past year because everybody hated it  ;), but there are some new twists to this one!

How to play.
1.Use the puzzle link below to view and print out the puzzle.
PUZZLE LINK
2. Find all the names on the puzzle
3. Use the unused letters in the puzzle to reveal the SECRET MESSAGE
4. Use that Message to find where you must go to continue your quest to enter the contest.
5. If you do everything correctly, your entry with the correct information can then be sent to me for the drawing.
5. Winners drawn at random from all the successful entries. If there are none, I'm keeping all the stuff. ;) :D (Not really)

Helpful Hints:


1.IMPORTANT! Make SURE your puzzle prints out in its entirety. After it prints, check it against the one on screen. Make sure you have all the rows of letters.
2. Keep your puzzle legible. Be very careful about circling words. If you circle extra letters, or can not tell what are the extra letters, you will not be able to reveal the SECRET MESSAGE correctly. Drawing a line through the letters may be a better way to go. Tammy recommends using a narrow highlighter.
3. Use the extra letters starting with the top and going left to right. You will have more letters than you need at the end.
4. Use the blanks given on the puzzle print out. This will show you how many words, and how many letters in each word.
5. Read all the instructions where ever you find them. Its the simple things that will foul you up.
6. Take full advantage of reading glasses, a magnifying glass or a telescope. Or, better yet, get a kid to do it for you. :D
7. Remember, things don't have to be as hard as you make them. Sometimes, just the click of a mouse, a swipe of your hand or a new way of thinking or looking at things or potential clues you may have dismissed can make this so much easier at the very end. Don't get frustrated. HAVE FUN!
and 8. Try to think like Jeff... :D ;)

Good Luck, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Bahhahaha! I mean ho ho ho. ;D :D

And thanks again to Logrite tools, Bluecreeper and The Rite Leg Company for this year's prizes.

I'm surprised Van Camp was not one of the words.  :D

So far I am out of luck because I have not been able to copy it in it's entirety.  The right hand column is missing.   :-\

Take a Sharpie and mark the words on your computer screen and take a picture. Then mail it in.  :D

[Jeff]

when you click the print button you should be able to select your printer setup for the document to fit the paper.

[Magicman]

The sharpie did not work.  I use a laptop and the screen is soft so I am just scratching the words out with my pocket knife. 

Don't worry about me Goat.  I'll smoke you like a 10 cent cigar.
