Write a caption - winner gets a Padrone's Pizza
Some things never change. We have about 25 different years of this photo. The only change from one photo to the next is the cast of characters.
This 2002 classic Pirate photo serves several purposes.
First, it is part of our Historical Bluffton photo series. The problem is we don't have the the names of these fine young men. We do know that the photo was taken during the 2002 Bluffton HS homecoming parade.
Pirates in this photo, in no special order, B.J. Altvater, Adam Brooks, Eric Stockman, Nick Houshower, Drew Gatliff, Matt Keeler and Jared Byers.
Second, one lucky Icon caption writer will win a 1-item, 14-inch Padrone's Pizza, for writing the best caption for this photo.
Entries are not accepted on Facebook - rather entries must be emailed to: Pirate caption contest in care of [email protected].
The deadline to enter this contest is 6 p.m. Sunday, July 19.
