TAKE A SELFIE WITH THE TURKEY CONTEST
Starting Friday, November 13, we will place our WSEC Turkey at a different location every day through Sunday, November 22. At the beginning of each day, we will provide clues regarding where the turkey is at. When you find it, take a selfie with the turkey and post it on our Westmont Special Events / Stanley Jamburger Facebook page. The contest will last for 10 days, so a perfect score will consist of 10 selfies with our turkey at 10 different locations. The team/person with the best score will win. If there is a tie, we will have a drawing from the groups with the best scores.
