On
Monday, Feb. 18, the first
lamb of the season was born.
A representative for Middleton Place said the baby boy is thriving and
The Middleton Place Foundation has invited the public to suggest a name for him.
The lamb's mother's name is Winter, and
his grandmother's name is Noel, so preference will be given to names related to
the winter season.
The
contest will be conducted in two parts:
Name submissions can be made by
commenting on the Middleton Place weblog on the "Name the Lamb Contest" page or in person at the Middleton
Place Visitors Center.
Submissions will be accepted until 3 p.m., Thursday,
Feb. 28.
Middleton Place staff will pick their favorite from the suggested
names, and the person who submitted the name will win two passes for free
admission to Middleton Place.*
At
11 a.m. on Friday, March 1, the top three suggested names will be posted in a
survey on the Middleton Place Facebook page. The public will be allowed to vote for
their favorite through the weekend (ending at 5 p.m. Sunday, March 3). All
votes will be entered into a pool, and a winner will be picked at random to
take home two passes for free admission to Middleton Place.
The
winning name will be announced at noon on Monday, March 4 on the Middleton
Place Facebook page.
*If more than one person suggested the name, the
winner will be chosen at random.
