It’s a rare chance indeed when one gets the opportunity to both indulge themselves and do something wonderful for an organization at the same time.
For those who love and support the theatre in Valdosta, Peach State Summer Theatre is offering a terrific opportunity.
For $100 per ticket, you can win a chance at a weekend in New York package for two. The package includes broadway tickets, an NBC Tour of Saturday Night Live and the Jimmy Fallon studio, a spa visit, roundtrip airfare and a weekend stay at the Omni Berkshire Place.
What a terrific way to spend a weekend for entertainment and theatre lovers, and what a terrific way to raise money for the Peach State program.
And to make the odds of winning even better, a total of only 300 tickets will be sold.
That’s right — you’ll have a one in 300 chance to win. Much better odds than the lottery.
The drawing will be held Monday, Oct. 26, at 6 p.m. at 306 North in downtown Valdosta.
There are terrific second and third place prizes as well, so if you’re interested in winning season tickets to PSST! and a chance at an incredible weekend getaway, contact Duke Guthrie at 229-333-5307.

Parents and schools
There is a lot of talk lately about school systems and grading policies, and how all of a child's problems come back to a lack of parenting. But is it really that simple? Can it be a case where the school systems are so focused on the problem few that the majority of students are ignored?

Thumbs up, thumbs down
THUMBS UP: To Brooks County High School engineering and technology teacher Don Morgan and his students. They recently received national attention for their work with biodiesel fuel. They collect used cooking oil from area fast-food restaurants then process this oil into biodiesel. Morgan hopes to next interest the Brooks County school buses into running on the fuel created in his class. This classroom not only prepares students for the future but may prepare all of us for an alternative energy source.
