http://www.news-record.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061024/NEWSREC0104/61023008Pa wants Thad to take the Neptune's wheel.
Now here's your turn — and a chance to win an ice cream party for your class — if you enter our "Sudden Squall Sweepstakes."
Here's how:
Step 1: Draw your boat. It could be a side-paddle freighter like the Neptune — or whatever strikes your imagination.
Step 2: Pick your crew and put them on the boat. It can be as few as one but no more than four — just like on the Neptune.
They could be your mom or dad, your brother or sister, your best friend — even your pet.
Be sure to give them a job (first mate, cook, etc.).
And don't forget to include yourself at the wheel.
Step 3: Name your boat. Give it some thought. A boat's name usually reflects its captain — you.
We'll publish our favorite pictures after the series ends in November.
And for the winner: an ice cream party for your class, which is a lot better than buried treasure.
Send your entries to: News & Record, 200 East Market St., Greensboro, N.C. 27420 c/o Sudden Squall Sweepstakes, Mike Kernels.
