Ron DiBella wins the Pig Skin Challenge for a second time
This week’s winner of The Daniel Island News Pig Skin Pick-‘Em Challenge is Ron DiBella, Ron previously won the challenge for the games played over the last week of September. This was a difficult week of picks for both our sponsors and our readers. No one picked better than 6-6 and our sponsor of the week, the Daniel Island Grille, was only 4-8. For his efforts, Ron wins a $50 gift certificate to the DI Grille.
Each week from now until the Super Bowl, readers will be given the opportunity to “Beat the Sponsor” and to win great prizes. We will email a link to the survey each Tuesday evening via our “Coming This Week” eblast and we will also put the URL link on our Facebook page and here in the paper, and on the bottom banner on our website, www.thedanielislandnews.com. To be eligible to win, you must select your entries online by noon on Friday. There is no cost to enter.
