Got Words? Need Mansion?

The Tampa Tribune featured a story this morning about an Ocala woman who is offering up her $1.25 million house in exchange for the most appealing story from a pet lover. Entrants need to submit a cover letter, a photo of your pet ( your image is not requested), the prize winning essay, and oh yeah, $200. Deadline is July 23. Clementina Marie Giovannetti's minimum entry needs are 6,250, which would coincidentally add up to the value of her home. She retains the right to extend the contest to allow more entries and to cancel if she doesn't get her minimum. Hey, times are hard. It's a creative way to sell a home, and if you have $200 to gamble, it might win you a really nice pet house. You can read more about this contest at www.ocalamansion.com/mansion.html.
