Each year, American Land & Leisure hosts a drawing for coveted boat storage spaces at Ruedi Reservoir, a gem in the heart of our community known for its crystal-clear waters and scenic mountain backdrop. This year, we saw an overwhelming response, and we’re grateful for the enthusiastic participation.
To our winners: Congratulations! You were selected in a highly competitive process that was conducted with fairness and transparency. We ran our randomization process over 100 times to ensure that every entry had an equal chance of selection. Your spot at Ruedi Reservoir promises a season of unforgettable boating experiences, sun-soaked memories, and the joy of the great outdoors.
To those on the alternate list: Your journey doesn’t end here. While your entry was not initially selected, you play a crucial role in our community. Should any winner be unable to accept their spot, you will be the first we contact to offer this wonderful opportunity. We value your participation and encourage you to stay tuned, as opportunities to secure a spot may still arise.
This drawing is more than just a chance for boat storage; it's a celebration of our shared passion for the water and the bonds it strengthens in our community. Whether you’re a winner, an alternate, or a participant, you are an essential part of the vibrant life at Ruedi Reservoir.
As we move forward into the boating season, we extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who took part in this year's drawing. Your enthusiasm and love for boating and the outdoors are what make these events so special.
Keep an eye on your emails and phones, alternates! We hope to extend offers to join the winners at the docks as the season progresses.
