Show Three days for Turkey entries With three days left before the contest deadline, only one entry has been received in this newspaper's annual Turkey of the Year contest. Based on previous years, this is about what we expected. The winner of the annual contest (which is still not much of a contest) will receive a free Thanksgiving turkey from the newspaper. The individual or group named as the winning nomination will receive a memento of the honor, suitable for framing. To enter, simply submit in writing your nomination for the Turkey of the Year. Entries must be 25 words or less. Entries must be typewritten, and must include the name of the entrant in order to win. Deadline for the contest is Friday, Nov. 20, and the winner will be announced in the Nov. 25 edition of the newspaper. Entries will be judged on originality, style and appropriateness. The best entries will be printed in the newspaper, and if the interest generated by the contest is anything like last year, all entries will be printed. Send all entries to this newspaper, P.O. Box 7, American Fork, Utah. 84003, or deliver them in person to 59 West Main Street, American Fork. Anyone is eligible to be named a turkey - public or private individuals, in-dividuals, or even organizations. Past nominations have included public figures, the local school district and this newspaper. |
