For a $1 donation, the public is invited to vote for the winner by choosing for their favorite youth sport or official. In addition, ballot jars, ballots and posters will be placed in a number of Back Mountain busi- nesses, including (but not limit- ed to) N-Mart, Trucksville; Un- imart, Dallas; Ochman’s Coins and Jewelry, Dallas; J&J Deli, Dallas; Curry Donut, Dallas; and the Back Mountain Memorial Library, Dallas. All ballot jars will be collected on Sept. 18 and the votes tallied. The winning “smooch” will take place during the Eighth An- nual Dallas Harvest Festival on Sunday, Sept. 19, and will be an- nounced by District Judge James Tupper. On behalf of the winner, the winning sports organization will then be awarded 50 percent of all ballot monies collected and the remaining funds will be ap- plied toward next year’s festival.
