Congratulations to Jennie Schultz of Santa Rosa whose name was drawn from those who correctly answered “Cary Grant” to last month’s question: In 1954’s “A Star Is Born” shown at the Empress Theatre on January 8th, what actor initially accepted the role of Norman Maine but later turned it down because it was a role as a has-been actor? Jennie received two Premier Passes for PIER 39 (a $108 value). Each pass includes one cruise aboard Blue & Gold’s Bay Cruise.
Inspired by the urging of Robin Leong, of the Napa-Solano Audubon Society, Myrna Hayes and Marc Holmes while staffers of Save San Francisco Bay Association crafted an event that would introduce the Bay Area public to the world of birding, the fastest growing outdoor recreation in America. As part of a project called the Partnership for San Pablo Baylands, the San Francisco Bay Flyway Festival was founded in what month and year?
The winner chosen from a drawing of correct entries will win a pair of tickets for Six Flags Discovery Kingdom which opens their 2010 season on Saturday, March 6th!
