Be 'Swept Away' to One of America's National Parks

UPPER SADDLE RIVER, N.J., May 5 /PRNewswire/ -- From the Everglades to the North Cascades, from Angel's Landing to Devil's Tower, and from herds of buffalo to flocks of endangered birds, America's National Parks are a wonderland of stunning, unique scenery, wildlife and experiences.  If there is a National Park you've always wanted to visit, your dream vacation could be a few clicks away.  

The Thompson's®Water Seal® 2010 VIP Sweepstakes salutes Very Important Places, offering the winner the chance to choose the National Park they would like to visit. (That's 392 sites in 49 states!) The sweepstakes prize, valued at $5,000, includes round-trip coach class airfare for up to four people, hotel stay for four evenings, rental car for five days and $1,000 spending money.  Entries can be made at thompsonswaterseal.com until October 4.  

Choosing a destination may not be easy!  America's National Parks offer an incredibly wide range of views and attractions:

• Yellowstone (located primarily in Wyoming), the world's first National Park, contains more than 10,000 geysers (including the world-famous Old Faithful), hot springs and other "hydrothermal" features – the most diverse and intact collection anywhere on the planet.
• Grand Canyon (Arizona), considered one of the natural wonders of the world, offers a semi-arid landscape of awe-inspiring proportions and Southwest colors.  The canyon is 277 river miles long, up to 18 miles wide and up to one mile deep.  
• Much of Everglades National Park (Florida), is submerged beneath fresh and brackish water; this is the last remaining everglades in the world, and manatees, dolphins, alligators and crocodiles are just some of the wildlife that can be seen.

Thompson's Water Seal offers two additional ways to help raise $75,000 for the National Park Foundation, for repair and preservation projects at America's National Parks:

• The company will donate $1 per gallon ($1 per bottle for concentrated formulas) for most of their line, including deck cleaners, clear and tinted waterproofers and exterior stains, when you purchase products for your deck makeover or home improvement project (up to $50,000).
• The Web site soon will include a "Donate Now" icon where the company will donate $1 per click (up to $25,000).
