All good things must come to an end, as the old saying goes. So ends the "rename the Mall Contest. And a VERY good thing this contest has been for the creative and gentle readership of Weber County Forum indeed. The denizens of this forum have dutifully submitted a grand total of 117 name entries, via 63 separate reader comment posts, demonstrating once again that our gentle readers are by far the most thoughtful and civic-minded readership of any blog in the entire blogosphere.Today is the mallsite renaming deadline. All entries must be received by the name selection committee by close of business this afternoon. In this connection, the editors here at Weber County forum have completed a tedious cutting/pasting process, gleaning ALL of our most excellent name nominations, and compiling them in a single master list. For those who would like to examine this magnificent compilation, we are providing a handy link here.
In order to avoid blowing the deadline on this, our editors will be submitting this master list by modern 21st-century electronic email technology, transmitted over tiny wires at the speed of light, to THIS OFFICIAL OGDEN CITY EMAIL ADDRESS: lindafonnesbeck@ci.ogden.ut.us, just as soon as blogmeister Rudi finishes his lunch this afternoon.
In the event any of our gentle readers has an additional brainstorm before 5:00 p.m. today, they may submit last-minute entries themselves via the very same above email link.
Once again our readers have stepped up to the plate, and produced a name list worthy of the highest-priced public relations firm.
We thank our gentle readers for their enthusiastic support of this grass-roots contest project; and we express our confidence that any one of the 117 names submitted will surely be the worthy moniker which will be borne by wondrous project which will be blooming like a phoenix from the toxic mudflats this coming spring -- assuming Larry Miller ultimately signs the necessary so-far-unsigned documents.
Comments, anyone?
Which names are YOUR personal favorites?
