Announcing America’s Most Fun Family (NAPSA)—There’s more than a kernel of truth in the philosophy that fun can be rewarding. This story may, in fact, proveit. The “Search for America’s Most Fun Family” ended today in the small town of Erie, Pa., where the Kostrubanic family’s extraordinary fun factor has earned them the grand prize of a family adventure vacation to the Hawaiian island of Maui. The Kostrubanics were chosen from nearly 1,000 families across the country who competed over the past five months to prove that they are America’s best example of a family bound by love, unity and, most of all, fun. Family-owned Jouty Time Pop Corn of Sioux City, Iowa, sponsored the search. The Kostrubanie family’s award-winning entry and photograph wowed judges with their creativity. The family put together a mystery story titled “A Case of Who & Where is America’s Most Fun Family.” The story was filled with original drawings and pictures of the family. Jennifer Kostrubanic, mother of four, described popcorn pajama parties by the fire, picnics in the living room and transforming the kitchen into a Parisian bistro complete with Brie and French bread as just a few of the ways her family makesordinary days extra-special. “We were thrilled to have been selected as the grand prize winners because we really do have fun together,” said Kostrubanic. “Although all families experience good times and bad, it’s so impor- tant to make having fun a big part of the time you spend together. Those are the memories you cherish when you're older and the kids have grownup.” In addition to receiving the fantasy family vacation for four, which includes air transportation, hotel, fun family adventure activities and $1,000 cash, the Kostrubanices were also selected as the Mayfinalist. They received a first place award package of an Olympusdigital camera, a pair of Razor scooters, a Nin- tendo 64 and a JoLLy Time Fun Family Fun Bag. Jouty Time Pop Corn will honor all of the families that entered with a coupon for free JoLLy Time Pop Corn.
