Last week, we decided if we couldn't beat the heat, maybe having a sense of humor about it would help.
"It's so hot out that ______"
Your responses cracked us up and made picking a favorite difficult. But after a highly scientific voting process where all the Union County Patch editors weighed in, we came to a concensus.
Drum roll, please: And the winner is....
"It's so hot that the chickens are laying hard-boiled eggs!"
...from the very clever, Karen L. Enners Amaral, who's won a $15 gift card. Congrats, Karen!
