Update December 15, 2016: We have four winners!  Congratulations to Kelly Blakeney, Sharon Choinière, Patti Earle and Jason Johnstone for their winning slogans!  Be watching; our third and final contest for getting the Desert Springs Camel Mug ready is right around the corner!

We had a contest on our Facebook profile page last month to choose the best looking picture of our camel, whose name is “99”. During this contest, the picture above was known as “Camel Picture #2”.

Camel Picture #3

When the contest began, it looked like “Camel Picture #3”, was going to win.

But after several hours of thought, our friends began to favor the picture above.

Then, when the dust had settled, we tallied the results. Camel Picture #3 had seventeen of our friends standing beside him, but twenty-nine friends had chosen to stand by Camel Picture #2. (Two of our friends chose both number two and three, so I just let them stand with both!)

Reasons why our friends chose Camel Picture #2

Our friends who chose Camel Picture #3 mentioned a lot of great reasons for choosing him! However, Camel Picture #2 won this contest. Here are some of the reasons why Camel Picture #2 won the majority vote by a wide margin:
