Tony Marzullo of Youngstown is our contest winner. He searched until he found this picture of himself horsing around with his son, Anthony. 
According to Anthony’s mom, Cindy, the night the two guys found out they were winners of the contest prize — a $100 gift package from the Mahoning Valley Scrappers — there was a serving of “high fives” at the dinner table. The father and son duo are “two peas in a pod who go everywhere together. Anthony is his daddy’s ‘Mini-Me.’”
The pair are already planning their special boys’ night out. And, from the sound of it, the jury is still out as to whether or not Mom will be included.
Congratulations
Tony and Anthony!
