Cash & Vacations To Fall From Sky 

Every year, the 2006 Mid-Atlantic Broadcaster's Convention ends with a bang and this year will be no exception. On Tuesday, June 6, 2006, from 4:00 - 5:30 p.m., "Future World," will feature delicious food and drink, DJ and dancing, as well as fantastic games and unbelievable prizes, but with a twist. At the very end of this year's closing party, over $1000.00 in cash and a Caribbean vacation will literally drop from the ceiling at the Quarter at Tropicana. You'll want to stay around for this one, because you could win a 4-day/3 night all-inclusive trip for two to Cancun, Mexico or Punta Cana, Dominican Republic at Iberostar Hotels, courtesy of Nassau Broadcasting Partners.
