Caption contest for Oct. 31
Yes, hard as it is, we must now tear ourselves away from baseball and start thinking in earnest about football. Did you know we have an NFL team here in Kansas City?
Anyway, tell us what might be going on in this picture. Think funny. Then email your entry to starfyi@gmail.com. Put “10/31 caption contest” in the subject line, and include your name, city and phone number.
Deadline for entries is 11:59 p.m. Friday.
The winning caption scores a $25 gift card. The winner and runners-up will appear in FYI next Friday.
