Visit Sarasota launches twitter contest

On a high wire, blindfolded, over water, in the windy city—Nik Wallenda’s Chicago River walk will also mean a little exposure for his hometown, Sarasota.

Visit Sarasota County is hosting a contest on Twitter with the hashtag #BraveLikeNik. Wallenda fans are invited to use the hashtag and tweet at Visit Sarasota (@VisitSarasota) why they are as brave as Wallenda. The prize is roundtrip airfare and three nights at the Beach Club on Siesta Key for two and a $100 gift card.

The contest began Monday, Oct. 27 and will end Monday, Nov. 3, a day after Wallenda’s walk. The winner will be announced Tuesday, Nov. 4.

Wallenda’s highwire walk will begin at 7 p.m. eastern time Sunday, Nov. 2.
