Philly Fellion of the Tidewater Amateur Sports show is a wizard at figuring out ways to drum up support for his localized television show.
His latest endeavor is a bead guessing that he will hold several times throughout the year - with opportunities to enter just about every time Fellion and his cameras are on location.
Marian Ceblua of Manassas, Va., was only 120 beads off on her guess and won a Hawaiian vacation in the first contest.
Linda Standbridge of Virginia Beach was second and won a personal computer system. Gary Kessler of Stevens, Pa., won a limousine package.
Fellion also extends his thanks to Capt. Bud Futch and his Green Run High NJROTC students who took the time to count all the beads - all 71,732 of them.
