Wow, these are all great! Fantastic!!! I googled Portland Mom Wins $50K and you should see the number of hits...it's awesome. Keep on checking www.KGW.com news.
Everyone you've outdone yourselves...you're terrific ladies...way to go!
Carol, good question about the email addresses. If they are general emails (site submissions), then no we don't need them posted. We do want any that contact you to run the story.
I figure Pepsi and others will be monitoring the discussions so it will be very helpful to have that information available.
Thank you so much! -
