Is it your dream to tour the Smithsonian, check out the nation's historic monuments, or even just hang out at a favorite local restaurant? Akron-Canton Airport has teamed up with US Airways for an exciting new contest that will see winners take their dream trip to Washington D.C.

To enter the contest, you simply need to submit an essay of 500 words or less, detailing what you would do if you got a "Dream day in Washington D.C.". Unfortunately going to Barack Obama's presidential inauguration is not an option, and they cannot arrange a face-to-face meeting with the president, but CAK can give you a fun-fille day of memories and work to make your special day a reality.

Participants must be able to department from CAK on Sunday, January 25, 2009 at 6:20am, and will return at 9:20pm the same day.

The winner will receive:

• Air Fare on the INAUGURAL (1/25/2009) flight to and from CAK to DCA aboard US Airways for the winner and one guest (must travel ON this date)
• $100 in cash to be used towards transportation and daily expenses.
• A FLIP video camera to document your dream day
• Your individualized, one-day itinerary - detailed by you and fulfilled by us!

Essays must be submitted by January 20, and winners will be notified by January 21, 2009. To submit your entry and find out more information, visit the CAK "Dream Day in DC" website.
