Charlottesville Gas wants to introduce you to someone: the “blue flame without a name.” He’s cute. He’s cheerful. And, most importantly, he might turn out to be your very own benefactor if you play your cards right. Yep, this little guy could win you the prize pack equivalent of two crisp Ben Franklins if you’re clever enough to christen him with the catchiest, most captivating name.
 Can this blue flame become for gas safety what Smokey the Bear is for fire safety? Charlottesville Gas sure hopes so. |
The City of Charlottesville launched their Gas Mascot contest last week in hopes of resolving the oh-so-prickly naming predicament, with entries due no later than April 29. Only one lucky winner will receive the grand prize, a prestigious “Downtown Mall Family Package.”
Naturally, we at C-VILLE couldn’t resist throwing out a few suggestions to get your creative juices flowing. How about Sergeant Sizzle, Captain Caliente or Professor Pyro—although that last one may not best illustrate the commitment to safety the city is looking for. We also like Combustin’ Justin—in honor of JT’s recent visit to the area.
