I love prizes....

....and I won 14th prize in the Raffle at the Shoalhaven Family History Fair on the weekend. It was made up of three books and two free family passes to The Lady Denman Museum.

After that recent success I am all fired up and on the lookout for prizes. As I am attending the Unlock the Past Expo in Brisbane next week I took a look to see if there are nay prizes on offer at that event and here is what I found.
