Comments about ‘2008 Itty Bitty Salt Lake City’

This story obviously reads as it was written for the paper. Since I am reading in on a computer it is slightly annoying.

Brilliant! Seemed obvious to me it was a contest for people who live in SLC, so go buy a paper if you live there!

FINALLY!

And...
Where's the first prize $$$? That's kind of sad...

We love the contest and have participated every year. It's a great family tradition. We have always gotten every clue right, but have never won. But, it's the chase that's fun! The only change I would suggest is smaller prizes and a tee shirt with the picures of the clues on it for everyone that gets all of the clues correctly. Think about it for next year!

If you look to the right of your comment, there is a box that says Story Photos. They are all there. Good luck.

I know where three of these are right off the bat. I just have to go get the "official" addresses. Fun. I love doing this contest. I've never won, but have a great time finding everything.

Tee shirts with all the pictures would be a great idea.

I really had a scare this year when Itty Bitty didn't show the first Friday in Sept., I've been going through withdrawals. So imagine how excited I was to open the paper today and see Itty Bitty!! I just want to say thanks to Elaine for coming out of retirement to make some die-hard fans happy!! Who cares about the prizes....it's the challenge I love. (and the exercise...and being down town...and the fall air) Thanks

Itty Bitty Fan, great suggestion.

DN, not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but won't a $100 gift certificate to Ruth's Chris Steak House get me a baked potato and maybe a dollop of butter? Next year, how bout a certificate to a non-chain, locally owned restaurant?

Johny, what a great idea! I love the one time I was able to afford Ruths Chris, but I'd take Red Iguana any day over nat'l chain; perfect steak or no.

Only 8 to go! Woo Hoo...hope to you all there...I will be the one with a red rose in my teeth!

I'm with you 8 more left. See you at the finish line. It is alot of fun, isn't it!

Okay...now I'm down to 6...but these are killer hard. Maybe I'll see you before the finish line-- since I obviously have some more walking to do!

Has anyone finished?

I love this game. My family and I look forward to it every year.

However, I must say I strongly disagree with Itty Bitty Fan. I would much rather have the hopes of winning a big prize and not win anything than have the guarantee of winning a T-shirt.

Even though I have never won a prize and probably never will, it's fun to have the slim chance of winning something big. A T-shirt would just go to waste.

We're also down to 6. Which ones are giving you guys trouble?? I must say, I am tiring of walking thru construction zones and saying "no" to panhandlers. Anyone else getting tired of the "spare change" questions?

We had a very funny experience with a pan handler last year. No matter where we went we found the same man...he obviously didn't recognize us. When he asked for change he asked for a specific amount, 32 cents, 24 cents, 18 cents...so either someone was giving him pennies...or he was choosing random numbers. We had a good laugh about it by the third request.

We're excited for this year. I think its finally our turn to win something... but if not, we are just in it for the fun times. We are just getting started so if you find some really hard ones we like the extra clues.

We are going to kick some butt! It's our year!

We're down to 4!!! All 4 are so hard. Has anyone finished yet?

Future Winner -- We're also down to 4 and have spent hours looking for them! Which 4 are you having trouble with? The trouble-makers for us are: the smiley face; the 4 red squares; the neon sign; and the numbers.

this is really not user friendly to print the clues and I didn't want to spend 20 pieces of paper to print the clues
