			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My Grand Opening is coming&#8230;.. so with that in mind I am going to be doing some contests that lead up to it all.  Today&#8217;s contest is called a refer a friend contest!!!  It&#8217;s really easy to enter.  First of all if you have a facebook account you need to become a fan of my page following the link below.</p>
<p align="center">
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/pages/Lowville-NY/Ellen-Nicol-Photography/60457206857"><img src="http://www.ellennicolphotography.com/facebookbadge.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>The next step is to refer as many friends as possible to my facebook page.  Then those friends must become a fan.  That&#8217;s it.  The person with the most referrals to my page will win a free session in my new studio.<br />
In order for me to keep track of your referrals the person you referred must write a note on my wall telling who referred them.  Otherwise it won&#8217;t count.<br />
The contest starts today and end a week from today!  So become a fan of my facebook page and then refer all your friends to become fans.</p>
<p align="center">
<p align="center">Any questions just drop me an email!!!</p>
