Capel Rugs of Connecticut announced that Cynthia Gilroy of Lake Carmel, N.Y., won its drawing for a three-day getaway to historic Biltmore House.

The store in Westport held its grand opening in September and offered the contest as part of its festivities. The trip includes two nights of accommodations, estate admission, transportation and a behind-the-scenes tour of the estate.

"Since we opened in September, the Westport community has been incredibly supportive and welcoming," said Larry Lieberman, store manager. "We value each and every one of our customers, and we're happy to be able to give such a great gift to one of them."

Located in the Southern Appalachian Mountains of Asheville, N.C., Biltmore House was built by George Vanderbilt between 1889 and 1895. The French Renaissance chateau is now a popular tourist destination and one of Capel Rugs' licensing partners.
