Canton Bartender of the Year Competition

Ordinarily I would leave this type of post to the news aggregators, but I'm making an exception due to the sizable purse ($10,000) and the gentle encouragement from our local Canton ambassador Bill Norris. The Canton Bartender of the Year contest is afoot. Submit online between August 15-September 30. Cheers and good luck!
