Heritage/Roger Waters contest winner

Posted October 14, 2010 by Floydian Slip

Congratulations to Derrick Garceau of St. Albans, Vt., who won the Heritage/H-Team contest to see Roger Waters live in Montreal next week.

Derrick won two floor tickets to see the show at the Bell Centre, along with Heritage swag and $100 spending cash — a prize package worth $700!

Maybe we’ll see you at the show, Derrick. Then, again, we’ll be seated in the nosebleed seats, so our paths probably won’t cross. 😉

Heritage and The H-Team are sponsors of “Floydian Slip.”
