A whirlwind day on the red carpet

In November last year Dianne Ansbaugh of Coeur d’Alene entered a People magazine online contest to win two tickets to the Oscars Red Carpet Fan Experience. Multiple entries were allowed but Dianne entered just once. Fast forward to Jan. 20 when she was notified she’d won one of 45 first-place awards. Another five lucky entrants won grand prize awards that included airfare and hotel accommodations. Recipients had just 48 hours to complete paperwork for themselves and a guest to claim the prize or it would be assigned to another entrant.
