Stacy's last assignment gave contest-doers at lot of latitude and possibly a dead body.

Our fun-loving contestants were up to the task.

Our three winners will receive a copy of "Sports Town: A Look at the Famous Sports Pages of the Post-Gazette," one of the many must-have items available at the PG Store.

As always, we thank all participants, and good luck with this week's picture.
