Do you want to name a snowplow? ‘Ctrl-Salt-Delete’ among winning Lombard rebrands
That's not just any snowplow forging through your Lombard neighborhood.
That's Salter Payton mopping up the white stuff.
Or it could be Sir Push a Lot, or even Snow-torious B.I.G. The Lilac Village's snowplow naming contest results are out and they'll drive away the winter blues.
Officials kicked off the first “Name a Lombard Snowplow Contest,” in early January, encouraging residents to “share your most clever, unique, and winter-themed name ideas.”
A total of 185 people got creative with entries like Taylor Drift, The Big Liplowski, and Ctrl-Salt-Delete.
There even was a nod to historical Lombard resident Col. William Plum who left his collection of lilacs and property to the village when he died in 1927: Colonel Plow.
Appropriately, the contest was judged by village public works employees and winners were announced last week.
A complete list of top names and the residents who came up with them follows:
· Colonel Plow - Lisa Schuemer.
· Ctrl-Salt-Delete - Braden Herbert.
· SnowBeGone Kenobi - Sophia Vitale.
· Plowy McPlow Face - Kris Goetz.
· Salter Payton - Lindsay Turnquist.
· Saltosaurus Rex - Deanna Sacuta.
· Sir Push a Lot - Adrienne Langgle.
· Snow-torious B.I.G. - Rich Moricz.
· Taylor Drift - Robert Barnes.
· The Big Leplowski - Aaron Jordan.
“Your creativity made naming these snowplows a blast,” village officials said.
