Chovanec Wins $400

After four weeks we finally have our first winner in the football pick-it contest sponsored by Farmers Lumber Company. Out of a season-high 123 entries last week, only a single ballot correctly predicted winners of all 10 games. The $400 prize goes to Michael Chovanec. We will try to get a photo of him accepting his check in Friday’s edition of the newspaper. Special recognition to Randy Gardiner and Walter Newcomb, who both started 9-0 only to be let down by the Cowboys in the final game.

Here’s this week’s ballot. Remember you can turn in as many ballots as you can get your hands on in Tuesday newspapers, but no photo copies. Turn them in by 5 p.m. Friday at Farmers.
