Cats Billet Family Going For National Prize:

You can help send a Wildcats billet family to the 2010 Master Card Memorial Cup championship in Brandon, Manitoba in May.

Paul and Lynn Melanson, billets for Nicolas Deschamp are in the running for the grand prize sponsored by the CHL and Buckley's. It's a program to recognize and reward a vital component to the success of the CHL - the Billet Families.

Billet families were asked to capture their Bad Taste Face & Relieved Face in pictures that were then sent to organizers.

Fans of the Wildcats can vote for the Melanson's family's picture to help them win. And as an added bonus, every time someone votes they are also entered for a chance to win. Each winning family will also be recognized at the CHL awards. The winning families will be chosen based on the total number of votes they receive for the Bad Taste Face & Relieved Face pictures. Help the Melanson's by voting at http://www.buckleysbilletfamilies.com.
