Brain & Courtlin Wrap Up Listener Lunch for 2016

It's hard to believe, but 2016 is almost over and Listener Lunch has come to an end. We took our very last group of the year out yesterday, which means we had to dump almost 200 entries in the trash! That was a record for us, so we just want to say thank you SO, SO much to everybody who entered to win. We had so much fun meeting all of our winners, and we had some laughs that we will not soon forget.

We are off for the month of December, but we will have a totally fresh start when we resume in January of 2017. For the time being, you can't get entered, but as soon as we open things up again in the end of December, you will be the first to know!
