And the Winning Video Is ...
Posted By Ryan Burns @RyanBurnsy on Fri, Jul 19, 2013 at 7:07 PM
We had some great entries in our video contest, but it's time to give away four four-day passes to this year's Reggae on the River festival. Thank you to everyone who took the time to record and upload your Rasta-flavored eye-and-ear candy.
If we'd been judging on cuteness alone, then the pug or the baby might have taken the crown. If it was about heartwarming-ness, then Colette or Leishara might have been the winner.
But as the rules said, we were looking for creativity and originality. And in that department we had a runaway winner. The following video defies description, and it got the most votes from both our online commenters and our staff (with a few vocal objections).
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you ...
Brew of Babylon!
Congratulations to Ricky Harvey of Arcata. Call us up on Monday to claim your four tickets, and when you're down there at Reggae, watch out for sharp twigs in that Borat suit.
