Thompson's^® WaterSeal^® Very Important Places™ Sweepstakes Offers A Chance to Win a Trip To Niagara Falls, Yellowstone or Glacier National Park

The Triple Crown. The Three Tenors. Chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. Great things come in threes. That is certainly the case with the 2009 Thompson's Water Seal VIP Sweepstakes, which offers one winner the chance to visit their choice of three iconic American parks that are partners in the Thompson's^® WaterSeal^® Very Important Places™ (VIP) Program.

The winner will have the opportunity to stand just 15 feet from the thundering water of the country's most famous waterfall at the Cave of the Winds decks at Niagara Falls State Park. Or they might choose to travel in person to see everything from grizzlies to geysers at the world's first national Park, Yellowstone National Park. Of course, the pristine beauty and breathtaking drive on the Going-to-the-Sun Road at Glacier National Park also is hard to resist.

Kathleen Britton of Park City, UT was the winner of last year's Thompson's^® WaterSeal^® Very Important Places™ Sweepstakes, and visited Niagara Falls State Park in the summer of 2008. "No matter what you watch on TV, nothing compares to seeing Niagara Falls in person. Even my teenagers thought it was awesome," said Ms. Britton. "Everyone at the State Park went out of their way to make us feel like VIPs."

The trip value is approximately $6,000, and it includes round-trip airfare, a four-night hotel stay, rental car and $1,000 cash towards meals, admissions and souvenirs. Additionally, each park will offer the winner a "VIP" tour and behind-the-scenes look that is not available to the general public. Entering is easy and free at the Thompson's^® Water Seal^® Web site.
