The Family History Expo is coming to Mesa, AZ on Friday, January 22 and Saturday, January 23, 2010.  The cost of registration is very affordable:

Single Day: $40

Two Days: $75 ($65 if registered by January 1, 2010)

But here is your chance at winning a free ticket to attend both days of the conference.  And as an old family friend always says: “You can’t beat free!”
