PHOENIX— Hodges, Ward, Elliott’s Jack Ward was the big winner at this years Lodging Conference last week, walking away with the Grand Prize Jeep Wrangler. Ward had a little help, though, from HOTEL BUSINESS’® own Group Publisher, Stacy Silver (who was standing in for Ward) as well as conference organizer Harry Javers son, Jack, who gets credit for picking the winning key. Suspense was high in Phoenix after all seven finalists tried their key to no avail. After assessing the situation, however, it was determined five-year-old Jack Javer was really not old enough to drive, so Silver got a second chance at turning the key. The time was the charm: Silver’s key started the engine, and Ward became the winner of the Jeep.
