This came in via the contact form on Friday while I was still mostly out of the loop:

At First Presbyterian Church on August 23, 9-3, there is a "Really Free Car Wash"

No Donations, No Strings, Just a Clean Car

This is one of those things that I find kind of bizarre but it amuses me so I'm running the press release. Obviously it's modeled on the "Next Design Star" and "Next Food Network Star" kind of shows, but I'd be even more interested if it took on an "Iron Chef" twist. Like who can best decorate the room in one hour, in head-to-head competition or something.
