RAMBLING MAN CONTEST
 HELP
US FIND THE RAMBLING MAN!
Test your geography
skills and help us find our good friend Tony Delano.
Once upon a time he was
OUR
GUY IN HOLLYWOOD but alas he moved on. We are
proud to re-introduce Tony as The Rambling Man.
The name seemed to fix as Tony can't seem to stay in one
place.
We now ask for your help in keeping tabs on Tony's
whereabouts with our RAMBLING MAN CONTEST. Just listen to the show for
your clues as to where Tony is and submit your
answer. We will announce the winner during our
next Rambling Man show (usually we manage to dig Tony up
about every eight weeks). The winner will receive
something cool from The Travel Hub Radio Prize Suitcase.
GOOD HUNTING!!!!
