Pigskin Picks kicks off this weekend
Are you ready for some football?
It’s time for The Bowie News Pigskin Picks that begins in today’s Bowie News. Each Wednesday a slate of games including high school, college and pro will be placed on the game page. Pick who you think will win and if you have the most right answers you could week a weekly cash prize of $25 for first place and $15 for second.
At the end of the season, the names of the weekly winners will go into a drawing to win the ultimate tailgate package including a gas grill, a pop-up canopy, chairs, and more. See the prizes at The Bowie News office, 200 Walnut when you drop off your football entries.
Join in the weekly fun. Don’t you want the bragging rights at the office or at home? See the contest on page 8A of the mid-week edition.
