Residents and business owners in Latrobe and Unity are being challenged to show how they “Bleed Black and Gold” in a decorating contest that will be featured as part of a Steelers Week promotion Monday through Aug. 6 in the two neighboring municipalities.
Sunday is the deadline to register for the house- and business-decorating contest.
According to organizer Beth Straka, community service officer with the Latrobe Police Department, one winning home each will be selected in the city and the township, and each will receive a prize of two tickets to the Aug. 12 game between the Steelers and the Detroit Lions.
The winning business will receive an autographed football to display.
According to a post on the city’s Facebook page, the contest and Steelers Week event are meant “to stir football season excitement and help our local businesses rebound from the covid-19 pandemic,” even though NFL pandemic protocols will keep the Steelers from attending summer training camp on Saint Vincent College’s Unity campus for the second year in a row.
Contest registration forms are available on the Facebook page and at the Unity Township building, 154 Beatty County Road, or the Latrobe Municipal Building, 901 Jefferson St. Completed forms can be returned to either the city or township building or may be emailed to bstraka@cityoflatrobe.com or Info@Unitytownship.org.
Decorated sites will be judged by township or city officials beginning Monday. Winners will be notified on Aug. 6.
Business specials, fan photos sought
The event organizers are looking to post online Steelers-themed menu items from local restaurants and similarly themed special offers from other local businesses.
They also want to include fan photos from past Saint Vincent training camps.
Scanned photos should be sent to Info@Unitytownship.org and business specials should be sent to bstraka@cityoflatrobe.com by Saturday.
“We’re doing this to create some excitement for our restaurants,” said Unity Supervisor Mike O’Barto. “There are some out there that are going to participate, and we’re waiting to hear from them.”
