Finish The Vindicator love story for a chance to win a prize


Just in time for Valentine’s Day, The Vindicator is giving you a fun opportunity to win a special prize for the love of your life.

Visit www.vindy.com/love-story, and read “Love Stands the Test of Time.” You’ll notice that the fictitious love story needs an ending. That’s where you come in. Submit a happily-ever-after ending — in 500 or so words — for a chance to win one of the following prizes:

• 1st place: A $100 gift certificate for dinner at Alberini’s Restaurant in Niles.

• 2nd place: A $50 gift certificate for flowers at Full Circle Florist, located in Youngstown and Hubbard.

• 3rd place: A 2-pound box of assorted chocolates from Philadelphia Candies, provided by The Vindicator.

You have until noon Friday, Feb. 6, to e-mail your entry to Society Editor Barb Shaffer at shaffer@vindy.com.

The winners will be notified by phone in time to claim their prizes before Valentine’s Day, so include your name and phone number at the end of your story.

Their names will be announced on Saturday, Feb. 14, and their winning entries will be published on Sunday, Feb. 15.

So, get busy, you romantics, and good luck!!
