Believe It Or Not, You Can Own This Inn For ONLY $125!

Yes, you can own this inn for only $125 and an award-winning essay.

When I was a kid, I dreamt of owning restaurants and hotels. But then I grew up, and I realized that I’ll need buckets and buckets of bucks to make this dream come true so I decided to do something else.

However, things were different for Janice Sage, owner and innkeeper of the Center Lovell Inn in Maine. She was able to own the inn for a meager price of $100! How did that happen? Well, the previous owner held an essay writing contest with a $100 entrance fee in 1993. The grand prize – the Center Lovell Inn. Needless to say, Janice won the contest and the ownership of the inn. And now that Janice is retiring, she wants to do the same thing.

Instead of the conventional way of selling properties, Janice decided to hold an essay writing contest.

Submit a 200-word essay for $125, and you’ll get the chance to own the Center Lovell Inn!
