I never got any response from Benchmade; I've always gotten a yes or no from Cabot and Ben & Jerry's. I usually give 4-6 weeks; then contact them as a follow up.

We had our tricky tray last night and we pulled in almost $12,000. It was an amazing night and my body is killing me today!!! However I have one question. We kept our ticket drop bags with the winning ticket stapled to the front, how long do I have to keep these bags or can they be thrown out right away?

Hi Crusader,
I am just wondering if places like Ben and Jerry's, Cabot and Benchmade Knives actually sent a "no" reply, or did you just not receive anything. I had sent requests over a month ago and have not heard anything from many of the same places. However, our event is not until the end of May. Thanks for any info!

I have been having very good luck with the direct sellers, like Silpada, Thirty-One, Pampered Chef...etc.

Our event is in Iowa and I thought I'd share some of my non local lists.
