Attention handy fathers and children: SKIL, Lowe's and Worlds of Discovery have teamed together to create a contest for father-child projects. The grand prize is an all-expense paid family vacation and that's just one of the 130(!) prizes. To enter, download and build one of the four project plans then submit three or more photos of the project in process and one of the completed along with an entry form. Two of the project plans include a how-to video, so no "I'm not good building things" excuses. The contest has different project plans for different age ranges and the contest. Get started by going to the SKIL Building Memories Web site.
