Daytona Cubs to Give Away Custom Funeral

The Daytona Cubs are going to give away a custom funeral…

The Daytona Cubs of the Class-A Florida State League are giving away a custom funeral to a fan who wins an essay contest. Contestants simply have to describe their perfect burial services in two pages or less.

Assistant General Manger Bill Papierniak tried the promotion last year with the Hagerstown (Md.) Suns. It generated almost 1,000 entries, and the winner was a World War II veteran who described the fellow servicemen he wished could have attended his funeral.

Papierniak said the funeral with all the trimmings is currently valued at $5,000-$7,000. Even if the cost skyrockets, the prize has a lifetime warranty.

I’m becoming disconnected from my comic book reading experience. I read the books, then I forget what they were about when the next part of the arc is released. I think I need to change my habit to being a trade reader… all these individual issues are too hard for me to follow at my advanced age.
