Caption contest 241 ... and the winners of 240

Caption contest 241 ... and the winners of 240

Stacy Innerst is the artist. You are the caption writer.

CapCon 240 was a day at the beach (click on second image above) for a trifecta of first-time contest winners (including a champion all the way from Chicago) which the judges always love to see. Newcomers and past champions alike should now feel free to pour themselves a glass of their finest -- or worst -- wine and try their cleverness with CapCon 241.

Send up to three entries to page2@post-gazette.com or mail to: Caption Contest/Portfolio, Post-Gazette, 34 Blvd. of the Allies, Pittsburgh PA 15222. Please include name and address and identify your municipality or Pittsburgh city neighborhood. Deadline: July 28. Winners receive a PG umbrella, which you can use for sun protection when lying out at the beach -- if you're very, very small.
