      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>Well, at the last minute we decided to do something just a bit differently than the last couple of contests. Today - instead of throwing darts to pick the names, we decided to put the 20 names that were picked randomly from a number generator (from many, many reponses!) on Ingrid's arm and had Emma ride through on her bike to pick the winners! It was a blast!</p>
