Mowing Contest in final days

Lingletown Gazette’s Mowing Contest will end Saturday at sunset, and the winner is going to be showered with an incredible prize package thanks to the Merchants of Linglestown and other area businesses.

I could be spending considerable time behind the mower this week following the rain over the weekend. But to build the suspense to a fever pitch, no mowing-count updates will be posted during the balance of the contest period.

Here are the latest additions to the prize list …

* $10 in gift coins usable at Linglestown Chocolate Cafe and Restaurant

* A gift certificate for a hair cut at Shag, Linglestown's newest merchant

* Free in-studio sitting and choice of an 8x10 portrait at Kelli Wyland Photography

* $30 gift certificate for retail therapy at First Impressions boutique, gifts and spa

* Two $10 off coupons at Bon-Ton in the Colonial Park Mall from community watchdog group SWAN
