**Edited Wednesday 12/20**The contest will be ending later this afternoon. Make sure you add your comment if you want to be eligible for the contest. One last thing..thanks for all the awesome comments. I really needed those comments this week. You all are the best!!!

Here it is my 500th post. There are so many of you out there that faithfully read my blog daily (and sometimes more) and I wanted to share part of Kansas City with two of my readers. Here is a little bit of history on the gifts and make sure you read all of the post because it will tell how you can can win.
Kansas City is home to the Country Club Plaza which is probably our most famous, if not only famous landmark. It's a open air shopping area with lots of upscale stores. For the holiday season they put lights up around every inch of all the buildings. On Thanksgiving night they have a huge party to celebrate the lights being turned on. Usually 200,000-300,00 people turn out to see the lights being turned on. I have gone once to see the lights turned on when I was a child. I was too young to remember much about it. It's a beautiful sight and when the Plaza lights are on you know it's the holiday season in Kansas City.

Because all of you have played such a vital role in the history of "Caroline in the City" I wanted to share a part of my city's history with you. The above picture is two burned out light bulbs from the Plaza lights. These two bulbs have been made into Christmas ornaments that can be put on your tree for next year.

Here's how you win: In one word tell me what "Caroline in the City" means to you. I will then put all your comments in a hat and Laura will pull 2 at random. To make sure that everyone has a chance I will leave this post up until Thursday morning. (For you guys I am going to go 2 whole days without blogging) This includes all you lurkers that come to my blog. I want to hear from you as well.

Good luck everyone and thanks for being part of Caroline in the City.
