Plugged in
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. And guess what: It could be your house!

The grand prize is a free trip to Chicago to see the TSO. There are also a number of $300 gift certificates that can be used at Forest City malls, including Buffalo's historic Boulevard Mall.
