A little birdie sent me the following press release.

I will be sure to make sure my LGBT friends know about the state’s contest. I know some who are extremely romantic.

I’d like to see Gov. Mike Rounds’ face when he presents such a couple their award.

Wanted:  Made in South Dakota’s Most Romantic Couple

PIERRE — Getting hit with cupid’s arrow could pay off in more ways than one this Valentine’s Day as Made in South Dakota searches for the most romantic couple in the state.

        By sharing their romantic story, the winning couple will receive a night at one of three South Dakota bed and breakfast establishments listed on the site and a Made in South Dakota gift basket. The winner may opt for a $200 gift certificate redeemable at www.madeinsouthdakota.com instead of the get-away package.

        “We thought it would be fun to let people tell their romantic stories,” said Alice Wright, Made in South Dakota Coordinator.  “Whether you had a romantic proposal, a romantic vacationor you’re one of the lucky ones that has a romantic spouse every day of the year year, we want to hear about it,” she said.

        Participants are asked to submit their stories through the form on www.madeinsouthdakota.com. Entries should be limited to 500 words or less and must be submitted by Feb. 3, 2008. 

       
The stories will then be posted on the site and the voting will be open to the public. Voting will take place Feb.4-12, 2008 on the Made in South Dakota Web site, and the winning couple will be announced Feb. 13.
