Only a few days left to enter Blacksburg's Steppin' Out t-shirt design contest

It may be eight months away, but Blacksburg's looking for a winner.

We're talking about the deadline for the 2013 "Steppin' Out" T-shirt design contest.

"Steppin' Out" will be held August 2nd and 3rd of next year, but first, there has to be a T-shirt design selected as the official T-shirt. The designer wins $500!

Profits from the T-shirt sales will fund "Steppin' Out" and will help support a variety of downtown projects, and the contest is open to everyone.
