Odd Bulb Out contest underway
The lights that decorate Greer Station offer more than Christmas joy in 2011. For three observant and lucky visitors to the City of Greer’s central business district, the lights hold the key to dinner at one of three of the area’s fine restaurants.
The Greer Station Association and the City of Greer are sponsoring the “Odd Bulb Out Holiday Hunt,” a contest that promises to have visitors scouring Greer Station for three red bulbs among the thousands of white lights.
The contest was prompted by a call last year to Skipper Burns, the city’s director of public services, about a mismatched bulb in one of the Christmas decorations.
“Whether it’s redistricting or seasonal events, we’re always looking for ways to engage residents. This is one of those ideas that came from a simple mistake last year,” Burns said. “The Greer Station Association agreed that it would be a fun event for the holidays, giving everyone one more reason to enjoy a trip to Greer Station.”
Successfully completing the holiday hunt before Dec. 19 could pay off with a gift card to enjoy delicious food at Wild Ace Pizza and Pub, Café Rivera, or The Cazbah.
An entry form with rules and clues to the locations of the three odd bulbs is available at all three restaurants, Greer City Hall, or downloadable below. Completed forms may be returned to collection boxes at any of the physical locations. All forms with three correct answers will be entered into a random drawing to determine the winners. Entries must be submitted by noon on Dec. 19, 2011 to qualify for a prize.
