Most folks, in the name of the American Dream, eiter lotteries, sweepstake contests and any other opportunity that comes along where they have a chance to win something for nothing. But few believe their dreams of winning will materialize. Such was the case of Julia Kropf, a young bride and young mother struggling to earn a living in the rural southern Utah town of Kanab. Married just seven months to Robert Kropf, Julia, 18, entered the once-in-a-lifeti- sweepstakes promoted by ABCs Home show. Home is a nation wide one-ha- lf hour morning show that offers viewers original ideas on better living from real people. Julia said she watches Home, w'hich airs at 10 a.m. on channel four in Kanab, when I can. When Home announced its $ 1 0,000, one room make-ove- r contest, she made a point to watch the show to learn the three correct answers to the contest quiz. Julia, Bob and their infant child, Alexis, ha ve lived in the home at the comer of 200 West and 200 South just seven months. The home currently belongs to Bobs parents, Mickie and J im Kropf of Cedar City but Julia and Bob are in the processes of purchasing it. On her breaks while working at the Chefs Palace, Julia said she began filling out postcards addressed to Home. She said she mailed in about 60 postcards to the show. Her husband. Bob, said he was skeptical about Julias project. I told her it was the silliest thing shes ever done, he said. Id come home and thered be dozens of postcards all over the room. He added, Now, I guess Im gonna have to eat those words. When Julia received the phone call from the Home show Monday, Aug. 1, she said she was surprised. Bob, on the other hand, thought it was a big hoax, she said. However, the two were convinced they were the luckiest couple in Kanab on Wednesday, Aug. 3, when their names were announced during the show as the winners of the con- - test. The Kropfs were chosen over more than 850,000 entries. The contest ran for two and a half weeks and was conceived by the shows producer. Woody Fraser. According to Homes public relations director, Joann Niden, the contest was a natural evolution of the shows home remodeling segment. Niden said the show purchases one home and completely remodels it from top to bottom in 13 weeks. When the home is completed, the show sells it. Niden also called the contest a good promotion for show. V' ' JoAnn Willis Meianie Young Irene Winsor Jennifer Noel v Gov. Bangerger Plans "Town Meeting" in Kanab KANAB Gov.
