Fleetwood Gives Away Popular Entertainer(R) Home As Part of Its 'Big Wish' Sweepstakes

RIVERSIDE, Calif., Dec. 22 -- Fleetwood Homes, a leading producer and retailer of manufactured housing, today announced the winner of its "Big Wish" sweepstakes, granting one lucky family a new Entertainer Home valued at $50,000. Introduced in September and part of Fleetwood's overall "Three Wishes" promotion, the "Big Wish" sweepstakes has provided a way for Fleetwood retailers across the United States to make dreams come true for hopeful homeowners.

While most people are still composing their holiday wish lists, the Wolpert family of Strasburg, Pennsylvania, is celebrating a dream come true with their new Entertainer Home. "We are still in complete shock that we've won this beautiful new home," said Margie Ann Wolpert. "The Entertainer Home is more than we could have ever imagined, and Fleetwood made this possible by offering the opportunity to people all over the country."

The Entertainer Home is Fleetwood's most popular home model designed for the modern American family and features cutting-edge appliances, amenities and additional space for family gatherings. Some of the Entertainer Home's modern features include a spacious dream kitchen, luxurious master bathroom, security system and in-wall theater system for family entertainment.

"It is very rewarding to be able to help families during this season of giving," said Wes Chancey, Fleetwood's vice president of sales, marketing, distribution and product design for the Housing Group. "Fleetwood Homes takes great pride in finding new ways to make dreams come true for our valued customers."

Weisser Homes of New Providence, Pennsylvania, is the Fleetwood retailer providing the Entertainer Home to the Wolpert family. Weisser Homes will help the Wolperts determine which features best meet the needs of their four-person family while also providing home delivery and installation.

"Weisser Homes attributes 40 years of industry success to our unwavering commitment to customer service, along with the help and support of our manufacturers," said Bill Weisser, General Manager, Weisser Homes.
