 Well, it's one of the hottest tickets around and one Bemidji business just gave out two tickets to Super Bowl 52. Through a special promotion, Bar 209 in downtown Bemidji qualified people throughout the NFL season for the grand prize. There's only a couple of days ago that Kyle Schuster's name was drawn for the big honor. Schuster says he was surprised when he found out that he won the tickets and he's happy he can share the Super Bowl experience with his father who is a big football fan. I was really excited. My dad was the one who actually took the call, so I wasn't actually the one who heard it, but I was really excited when I heard what my dad told me, so he's a much bigger football and Vikings fan than I am, so I can only imagine he was very excited. The ticket giveaway was thought up by the Bar's manager throughout the season for every Vikings touchdown, everyone's name in the Bar would get entered into the drawing. The Bar would made the contest extra special, was awarding the prize to someone who was from the area. You know, we had people from all over the state, even like Dakota's, Iowa, Wisconsin that were here on certain Sundays. Just when I saw the 218 number on the actual ticket I drew, it was exciting. I knew that it was someone local, someone that we might know, someone that familiar face in the Bar, so that was definitely special that it was from Bemidji. Bar 209 said they probably won't give away Super Bowl tickets again next year, but they will likely do the promotion again, but for a Vikings game instead.
