Me, Diane & our friend Jim who we ran into every few hours.
It got to be a hilarious joke.

I heard there were two of these Barbie bikes,
and the same lady won both of them!
She lives in Canada, so I think they had to be dismantled and shipped back.

Diane put all her tickets in, hoping to win this doll, but she didn't.
