Note from last year's winner:

"The State House Tour with Ashland's own Senator Karen Spilka was a wonderful experience for our entire family. We were given rock star treatment from the start, with a special tour by knowledgeable staff and then by Senator Spilka herself.  It was a rich lesson in government, and for the kids (11 and 8) just plain fun. Bid high and enjoy - you won't be sorry!"
