- At the New Mexico State Fair in mid-September, and presumably at other fairs,
- Marlboro had one of those hydraulic theaters (the ones that move around while
- you watch footage taken from an airplane or speeding car). They were offering
- smokers a chance to make the Adventure Team and "take on the West," five days
- of horseback riding, kayaking, dirt biking, and so on. Unfortunately, I did
- not save the brochure they gave me, and I haven't heard anything about this
- promotion since then. I don't remember any requirement for sending in proofs
- of purchase, though, just answering a quiz about camping and the other
- activities the Team would be doing, and writing an essay on why the applicant
- thought s/he should make the Team. Oh, you also had to have a motorcycle
- license and be a smoker. No, I don't remember any dates, although I imagine
- the activity would have to be during the summer of 1993, and therefore the
- application deadline should be coming up in a couple of months.
