Baltimore Ravens Win Super Bowl XLVII
As many of you know now, the Baltimore Ravens beat the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 and have been "crowned" the Super Bowl Champions. To get a little more buzz locally, we, SanTanValley.com, decided to run a contest on our facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/santanvalleyonline.
We asked everyone to head over to our facebook page and comment with the winning team and their choice of either $25 or the amount of the winning team's score.
We had over 100 entries and we selected one very luck winner - her name is Jen Pollum Kimble! Not only did Jen pick the Baltimore Ravens, but she also took a gamble and chose SCORE! So instead of the $25 that she could have won - she won $34! Congratulations to Jen and thank you to everyone that played along.Freshman Suspended for Gun Picture on Computer
