Name that tree (and alligator) By John Purcell 07/08/11
The Scotia Diner is holding a contest to name a dead tree, dubbed “the alligator” for its unique shape.
The tree, just outside of the Scotia Diner, juts up from the ground and appears to have an eye and the open jaws of the gator. The idea for a tree-naming contest came from a patron of the diner.
“One of our customers said, ‘You should name that alligator,’” said Scotia Diner Owner Anita Kyratzis. “It is just the standard joke around here that we have an alligator in our yard.”
The contest started in the beginning of the month and is ending on Friday, July 15. On the diner’s Facebook page, the contest was first advertised and even people from out of state can enter the contest. Anyone from New York will receive a dinner for two, and out of state winners will receive a gift card to a business in their state......................>>>>....................>>>>.......................http://www.spotlightnews.com/news/view_news.php?news_id=1310131084
