“No swipes. No small talk. Just real adventure and maybe real connection, too!” said Harrison.
The dating challenge became serious for Harrison, who spends her time between the mountain town of Flagstaff and the urban metropolis of Phoenix, when she successfully bid on a 10-day African Safari trip during a live auction to benefit Toys for Tots. At the time, she envisioned that she and her serious boyfriend would be exploring the beauty of the African savannah together, enjoying sunset cocktails and watching in awe as giraffes, zebras, lions, elephants and warthogs roamed freely around them.
Now, nearly two years later, Harrison, who describes herself as “a pretty regular gal with a flair for the fabulous and a next-level passion for life,” is still holding an extra ticket for that once-in-a-lifetime adventure with a one-in-a-million sort of guy. Yes, this is a real contest, and the safari, free to the contest winner, is scheduled for January. “No swipes. No small talk. Just real adventure and maybe real connection, too!” said Harrison.
As you can see, there is no time to waste. For those who possess the humor, energy, confidence and charm to be her match, or for those who know of this eligible man who is yearning for what may well be the best first date ever, now is the time to apply. The contest works like this:
Applicants must direct message a video of themselves, (no longer than five minutes), to Lori Anna Harrison on Facebook or Instagram, by Monday, Nov. 3. They should include where they live, where they grew up, their educational background, current occupation and a bit about their friends and family and what they do when they get together. She’d also love to hear about hobbies, activities, entertainment, favorite foods, restaurants or backyard grill specialties and what this extraordinary man seeks in a romantic partner.
Harrison notes that bonus points are awarded to applicants who are handsome, masculine, emotionally mature, financially independent, completely single, a devoted father, totally fun loving, country club membering, morally sound, addiction-free and home-owning.
To be fair, here’s a little more about the contest winner’s ticket-holding safari date: Harrison believes in God and karma, cherishes her friends and family, is physically fit – plays pickleball five days a week – loves social activities, has an adventurous spirit – she’s a world traveler – and doesn’t like to wake up to an alarm. She doesn’t have to work but adores her life in real estate and loves being an entrepreneur. Friends say if Lori Anna were a violin, she’d be a Stratovarius.
On Thursday, Nov. 6, the top 15 candidates will be notified with an invitation to a highly spirited Scottsdale cocktail party, Tuesday, Nov. 11, with interesting, beautiful, intelligent, high-achieving eligible women also in attendance. On Monday, Nov. 17, the winner will be announced. The next day, both the African Safari Manhunt Contest winner and Harrison will purchase their own flights to South Africa, presumably seated together.
Through the entire journey – from contest, through safari and beyond – Harrison will be posting updates on Instagram as the real relationship experience unfolds in real time. Those who believe life is one thrilling and completely wild adventure will want to go along for the ride! For more information, contact Harrison at lharrison27@yahoo.com. FBN
