Looking outside our windows here in Central Minnesota only to see approximately 15 feet of snow on the ground, one could be forgiven for dreaming about flying away to someplace warm... someplace tropical... someplace NOT HERE!

Well my friends I bring good news: Dream Getaway season is upon us once again! Someone right here in Central Minnesota is going to go on the trip of a lifetime just as 67 other winners have done before them!

Where would you go if money were no object? In the past we have had winners go to Italy, Alaska, Mexico and all points in between.

Maybe you would like to fly overseas to check out the land of your ancestors. Maybe you just want to sit on the beach with an ice cold blended drink, soaking up the rays. Perhaps your idea of a Dream Getaway is cool Alaskan Cruise.

That's the beauty of the Dream Getaway contest... you get to choose. You choose where you go, when you go and, most importantly, who you bring with you!

Now you might be asking yourself how you can win. Good, that means I have drawn you in with my excellent prose. Well, that or the simple fact you want to get the heck out of town. Either is understandable.

Your job is to collect code words at 9:20 a.m., 1:20 p.m. and 4:20 p.m. beginning on Monday, March 20th. Because we like you, we will also send a bonus code straight to your phone if you have the River mobile app and are opted in for contest alerts.

It only takes one code to win but the more codes you collect, the better your chances! Collect them all like Pokemon!
