Briggs & Stratton to Grant a Backyard Dream Every Month Through September

MILWAUKEE, March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Want a dream backyard without breaking
the bank -- or even a sweat?  Briggs & Stratton Corporation is helping
homeowners cut to the chase with the Dream Backyard giveaway exclusively at
http://www.mydreambackyard.com.
    Entering is easy; the only difficult part is selecting one of the six
backyard prize packages: Nature's Nook, Backyard Athlete, Relaxation, Party
Time, Kids' Zone or Gardener's Paradise.  But there's no need to choose just
one.  Consumers can enter once a day each month during the sweepstakes period,
April through September. One winner will be drawn monthly.
    The themed backyards feature big-ticket prize items, such as a putting
green and deluxe basketball hoop to help improve your game.  For those who
prefer relaxation, there's a hot tub.  Gardeners will appreciate a new lawn
tractor and the kids will jump for joy on their new trampoline and wooden play
set.  An outdoor bar and swimming pool are key ingredients in the Party Time
backyard.  Or, if "going green" in your outdoor space is important, the
Nature's Nook prize package features a greenhouse and many other
earth-friendly items.
    "The Dream Backyard is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to win a backyard
oasis," says Anita Fisher, marketing manager for Briggs & Stratton.  "The
Dream Backyard Web site is also a source of inspiration to create the yard of
your dreams as well as finding information on how to take care of it."
