WINNER ANNOUNCED: Can You Rhyme? Win Two General Admission Tickets to the Wine + Food Festival Sept 24

WINNER ANNOUNCED: Frank Leon has won the two free tickets to the Wine + Food Festival on 9/24. Congratulations, Frank. He had 98 votes for his poem:

After the food and wine fest, I’d rather go to jail than step on a L’escale. A burger battle is one I can’t lose but later I might need a colonic or at least some Green&Tonic. I better B-Good with Baby Booey chompers in the hood. He’s a charming fella but he ain’t no Citarella. Their fish is divine but if I ain’t got the time, I’ll drive my car to Char.

Reminder: Deadline to enter and to vote on GFP Facebook page is Monday, Sept 19 at 12:00 noon. The winner will be announced Monday night.
