Congratulations tallinbald76, as soon as I get your address I will send to you a beautiful handmade stackable marble display board for 100 marbles.....Joe McDonough

Hi Dennis, I have a suggestion, instead of one guess per member, how about the first closest wins with multiple guesses per member, spice it up a little.....Joe McDonough

I have told Dennis, I will donate a handmade, stack-able,solid wood, marble board to the winner of the contest. Therefore I will not be a contestant in the proceedings to come. All I would need is the name of the winner and where to send it cost free and postage free.....Joe McDonough

Hi dennis, you probably sent the message to an old e-mail address, new address is [email protected] McDonough

Dennis, let us know what you have in mind, I may be able to spice it up a little bit with a homemade solid wood stack-able marble board.....Joe McDonough

Hi All, Yestgerday I gave the two proto-type WeisWinners marble bags to my specialist to give to the owner of the Weis Market company. I will let you know if I get any feedback.....Joe McDonough

999 views, too tempting, had to do it, love to all.....Joe McDonough

A pick me up for all,, the children who received the Weis Winners marble bags loved every single one of them, happy new year.....Joe McDonough

Hi Sami, when the books are available, I would like to buy also, thanks and happy new year.....Joe McDonough

Thanks Hoody, I think the children will benefit the most, they got a fairly rare bag of marbles for nothing, that was my main objective.....Joe McDonough

Acfually no Steph, I have asked recipients of the marble bags to visit both marbleconnection.com and allaboutmarbles.com to learn how this all came about. So perhaps one or two might in the future just offer a bag or two, you never know. If I was looking to find a bag i would find the local newspaper and place an ad offering what I was willing to pay for a bag or ten bags etc. It's not that hard!.....Joe McDonough

No mystery Steph, 100 bags of Weis Winners now in the public's hands, Treasure to me, find one if you can.....Joe McDonough.

Merry Christmas boys and girls, final tally 68 singles bags of Weis Winners, 16 sets of two bags one each label. Okay I put the treasure out there, lets see who finds one first .Good Luck and best wishes.....Joe McDonough

Merry Christmas everyone, It's official. First two bags went to the store manager for helping me pull this off, so far about 66 bags given out, the rest will go tomorrow. A total of about 12 sets were given out and the rest were single bags, Great fun had by all.....Joe McDonough

Hi all, the marbles bags are being assembled and I expect them to be in hand next week. They will be called "Weis Winners" and will be given to "Children with parents permission" at the Dallas Pa. Weis Market 12/23-12/14.....Joe McDonough

Hi Everybody, I received a e-mail from my District manager this morning, they are going very small on this because no money was budgeted for it. I will be handing out the marble bags to children with their parents permission about 12/23-12/24. The count will be 100 bags, 50 with a red label white lettering/ 50 with white label with red lettering. I ordered them at 3pm today. Perhaps if this goes over big they will budget money for more next year.....Joe McDonough

Thanks guys, I have sent the cost to the big boys and proposed a small 500 bag issue to start, Al if I did that I would be fired for stealing company property, sorry. I will keep you posted.....Joe McDonough

Hi all, the company I work for, 200 strong supermarkets in seven states, has accepted my proposal for a promotional give-away of bags of 20 marbles with the company header. I had two prototype bags made up to show the BigWigs and they loved them.We will start the promotion at the busiest store in the chain, hopefully by Christmas. This will be an official issue by the company. More info as it becomes available.....Joe McDonough

Okay Guys, is my dragon breathing fire or not/.....Joe McDonough
