So originally, we were going to give away three pairs of two tickets to Buffalo Winter Bash, the craft beer extravaganza that will kick off Buffalo Winterfest / Powder Keg Festival (can we get a few more names for this weekend?) on Friday, Feb. 10 at Statler City in downtown Buffalo.

We then decided, last minute, to throw another two pairs of tickets into the mix if we reached 75 comments on our contest blog.

Well, you didn’t get to 75—eligible comments topped out at 68. Sorry, gang.

Oh, wait. What’s that? We’re going to give away an extra two pairs of tickets anyways? What the hell, it’s Friday.

So without further ado, here are your five randomly selected Buffalo Winter Bash ticket winners:

Carrie Wallace Allen
Vanessa J. Reitz
Lyndsi
Jake Albarella
Nancie Naedele Orticelli

You can pick up your tickets at The Buffalo News building (1 News Plaza, corner of Washington and Scott Sts., one block north of the First Niagara Center) between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday beginning next week. You need to pick up the tickets in person and you need to present photo I.D. verifying you are over 21 years of age.

If you are not 21, we will not yell at you, but we will give the tickets away to someone else.

Please contact Buffalo.com at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or tweet us @buffalodotcom with any questions.

Congratulations to the winners—it will be a good time.

And if you didn’t win—we are giving away more passes to the wine portion of this event next week. We also have some theatre tickets, Mardi Gras party passes and other hot swag that will be up for grabs, so keep your eyes peeled. Of course you can always check for other giveaways on Buffalo.com/contests, as well.

Have a great weekend, everyone.
