With America’s 250th birthday only two years away, Philadelphia is already beginning to set plans in motion. Indeed, it’s going to be an exciting time to be a Philadelphian. Not only will Philadelphia be a host city for the FIFA World Cup, but also it will be the 50th anniversary of the film “Rocky”. And now, city officials are adding the liberty bell into the mix with a groundbreaking new contest. That’s right folks, in an effort to make history once again, one lucky Philadelphian will be selected to come and take a whack at the iconic Liberty Bell!
Crack The Liberty Bell…Again
The idea came about when esteemed congressmen, Rita Pressul suggested that the Liberty Bell was getting old and boring. “It’s just a bell, we need something more exciting,” she exclaimed. And thus, this brilliant idea of adding another crack to the bell was born.
Now, you may be wondering, why on earth would anyone want to damage a piece of history? Well, because apparently, we need to keep things interesting in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Who needs a symbol of liberty and independence, when we can have a shattered bell with yet another broken piece?
Enter The Contest
But don’t worry, not just anyone will be allowed to swing a hammer at this national treasure. There will be only one lucky winner (enter contest below). During the celebration, a panel of carefully selected judges, including a former reality show contestant and a self-proclaimed bell expert (who has never actually seen the Liberty Bell in person), will be on hand to decide who gets the honor of being the one to put the final crack in the bell.
But wait, there’s more! The winner will also receive a grand prize of $10,000 and a lifetime supply of cheesesteaks from Pat’s or Geno’s! It’s time to leave your mark on history!
In the words of our beloved congressman, “Let’s put another crack in that thing”
