What Are the Odds?
Taylor Langstaff ended up being the big winner of the $2,000 Bay City, Mich., sesquicentennial prize package, which included restaurant gift certificates, t-shirts, a four-person pass to sail aboard the Appledore IV tall ship, and more. The contest involved residents completing 25 activities and earning a stamp on a “passport” at each activity. The passport book proved popular. “I actually had people from outside of town contacting me for a book to have some kind of guide to all of the activities,” said Deputy City Manager Dana Muscott. “I think it’s a great way to see the city and I really enjoyed it,” Langstaff said. Winning was pretty easy for Langstaff: he was the only person to submit a fully-stamped passport.
