WIN PRIZES IN CONTESTS BEFORE WALKER CONCERT

CAN YOU SING? Dance? Do you look just like Clay Walker - or better, Shania Twain? Do you look right in tight-fitting jeans?

If you said ``yes'' to any of the above, show up early for Walker's concert tonight at the Virginia Beach Amphitheater. A host of contests, offering a host of prizes, begins at 5:30 p.m. Proceeds go to the Hampton Roads Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Two-stepping dance contest: grand prize, $350 plus dinner and gold circle seats to the Brooks & Dunn concert Oct. 6 at the amphitheater; second prize, $150 and reserved-seat tickets; third prize, $50 and lawn tickets.

Karaoke contest: two tickets for the 1997 country music series at the amphitheater.

Best-dressed cowboy/cowgirl: $100 gift certificate from Acredale Saddlery or Deyong's Western Wear.

Clay Walker/Shania Twain look-alike contest: backstage passes to meet Walker.

Tight-fitting jeans contest: prize package from Blockbuster Music plus tickets to Brooks & Dunn.

That's for grown-ups. Kids can ride ponies, get their faces painted, watch a clown make balloon animals or visit the petting zoo.
