First Steel Installed at Great American Ball Park
Community Member Signs First Steel Column
| WHAT: |
To commemorate the first steel installation at Great American Ball Park, Hamilton County, WUBE radio and the project team held a contest for one community member to sign the first steel column installed at the ball park. Lynn Cameraon of Cold Springs, KY, won the First Steel Installation Contest, held on WUBE's B105 morning show the week of July 16-19. After answering a daily ball park trivia question and winning a $25 gift certificate to the Cincinnati Reds Dugout Shop, Cameron was chosen by B105 as the grand-prize winner. Cameron will sign the first steel installed at the ball park, and County Administrator David Krings will present him with a commemorative plaque. |
