This past weekend the Salute to Twilight Convention took place in Atlanta. Several Twilightmoms were in attendance. But, one of our own had an exceptional experiance at the convention. Rebecca and Lynn attended the trivia contest and Rebecca won! This is a quick run down of what happened in her own words. “The trivia was called the Yes/No game. Adam (CEO of Creation Entertainment) picked 3 groups of 30 people out of the audience. I was in the first group. We were each given a yes and a no card. He would read a TW fact, and we had to hold up a card. If you got it wrong you had to sit down. It got down to 3 of us, and we had to turn each facing a different way so wee could not see the others. I THINK the last q was “Aro gave Bella necklace as a wedding present.” Yes, of course. When I saw Lynn jumping up and down I knew I had won! I got $250 Creation merhcandise gift certificate and the make-over and then got to go backstage and walk out wth Kellan and Ashley.” Yes, she said walk out at the Vampire Ball with KELLAN and ASHLEY!! If you have ever met REbecca and Lynn, then you know that it couldn’t have happened to nicer people!
