GLENDALE, Ariz.
– In a show of support for the Arizona Cardinals, Mayor Elaine
Scruggs is asking that all Glendale residents, business, school
kids and city workers wear red on Friday, Jan. 16. She is also suggesting attendees to Glendale’s Annual
Glitter and Glow on Saturday to wear their Arizona Cardinals gear
to get ready for the big game in Glendale on Sunday. Hot air
balloon baskets will display “Go Cards” signs as well.
To demonstrate the confidence that Mayor Scruggs has in the
Arizona Cardinals ability to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles on
Sunday, she has challenged Mayor Michael Nutter to a friendly
wager based on the outcome of the game. Should the Cardinals
prevail, Mayor Nutter has agreed to pass out Glendale’s own
Cerreta Chocolate at a future City Council Meeting. In the event
the Eagles prevail, Mayor Scruggs will pass out Hersey Chocolate
at a Glendale City Council Meeting. The two spoke on Monday and
offered congratulations for their respective teams’ wins this
weekend.

Ed
Sharpe, director of CouryGraph Productions and founder of The Glendale Daily
Planet/KKAT Streaming TV - Glendale's homegrown community Internet video news
source, received the Bronze Telly Award in recognition for online

this online news segment.

Arizona and Ed Sharpe of CouryGraph
Productions display the 2009 Telly award for the Chocolate Challenge
production.
The
Telly Awards receives in excess of 13,000 entries each year from 50 states
and foreign countries.
 "It
is honor to receive a highly respected national award for work in
publicizing events that take place in the city of Glendale,"
Sharpe said. "The Telly awards highlight the high standards of
excellence we wish to achieve. In addition, it is our wish to provide our
viewership with information they can trust and enjoy."
To
demonstrate Mayor Scruggs' confidence in the Arizona Cardinals'
ability to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday's Playoff game, she
challenged Mayor Michael Nutter to a friendly wager. If the Cardinals prevail, Mayor Nutter agreed to
hand out
Glendale’s own Cerreta Chocolate at a future City Council Meeting.
In
the event the Eagles prevail, Mayor Scruggs would hand out Hershey
Chocolate at a Glendale City Council Meeting. We know
that the Cardinals prevailed thus sending them to the Super Bowl and Cerreta Chocolate
was enjoyed in Philadelphia!
Mayor
Scruggs explains, "Mayors' challenges are one of
Super Bowl's traditions." She continued,
"I am happy Ed Sharpe was there to report on and record this
event which was part of a memorable season for the Arizona
Cardinals and the City of Glendale."
Although
Glendale Daily Planet / KKAT-IPTV did not cover the Super Bowl field
event itself, they pride themselves on providing coverage
and documentary of surrounding local to Glendale events
leading up to the Cardinals going to the Super Bowl.
Sharpe
stated, "Mayor Scruggs is humorous and easy to work with on camera, very spontaneous
and able to compose a speech on the fly. It is great to work
with someone you can get usable footage in just one take!"
