Snyder Tours makes a dream come true for a local mother of a military officer.

Buffalo, NY - February 27, 2008 - Snyder Tours, Buffalo’s fastest growing travel and tour company, made a dream come true for Lockport native, Patricia Brzezinski, mother of Lieutenant Kelly Lanternier, an Army officer stationed in Hawaii.  Last month, Brzezinski found out she was the lucky winner of Snyder Tours’ “Ultimate Bills Fan Contest”, awarding her the grand prize of a trip to the All-Star football game in Hawaii, and a chance to see her daughter Kelly one last time before she gets deployed to Iraq in May.

Snyder Tours kicked off its “Ultimate Bills Fan” contest this past September.  The contest ran through the Bills regular season, and asked fans to describe what makes them the ultimate Bills fan.  Out of over 4,000 entries, Patricia Brzezinski was chosen not only for her dedication and support of the Buffalo Bills, but also for her desire to share this once-in-a-lifetime experience with her beloved daughter.

Snyder Tours was named an official sponsor of the Buffalo Bills in 2007, and ran multiple contests and fan packages throughout the entire Bills’ season.  What made “The Ultimate Bills Fan” contest particularly exciting was that the prize included two round trip airfares to Hawaii, a four night stay at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki, ground transportation, fresh flower leis, Welcome Breakfast, Friday Night Kick Off Party, Saturday Night NFL Party, Pregame Tailgate party, and 4 tickets to the Professional All Star Game. 

Although the contest originally included only 2 tickets to the Professional All Star Game, Snyder Tours, upon hearing Patricia’s heartwarming desire to see her daughter, made arrangements with the Buffalo Bills for two extra tickets so that Patricia and her husband Joe could bring their daughter as well as her daughter’s roommate to the Professional All Star Game.  In the words of Patricia, “I had the time of my life!”

Snyder Tours is located in the heart of downtown Buffalo, and is continuing to unveil new contests, packages and promotions on a monthly basis.  Snyder Tours, within the past twelve months, has become the leading travel and tour company in Western New York, and continues to expand its operations throughout the Northeastern United States.
