No one would pay $10,000 for a Friday fish fry. Expect maybe Hasbro.
Ransomville’s Teagan Clark and her “Friday Fish Fry” are the winner of the Hasbro “Ready, Go Play-Doh” national food Play Doh sculpture contest. Along with her parents, Richard and Lynne, Clark found out Thursday she was the winner through a letter that Hasbro sent. Teagan wasn’t home from school yet, but Richard told her the good news when he picked her up.
“My dad told me, and I was excited,” Teagan said.
The task was to create a meal out of Play-Doh and send in the picture to Hasbro. Clark and her parents, Richard and Lynne, found out last week that Teagan’s “Friday Night Fish Fry” was one of the finalists.
Teagan’s fish fry sculpture consisted of fish, with a lemon wedge, vegetables and a potato. Clark sent a number of different meals to Hasbro for the contest, but the fish fry was the one the judges selected as a finalist. Teagan also made spaghetti with meatballs, a pretzel and chicken wings.
For winning the contest, Teagan wins $5,000 personally, and another $5,000 for her school. She is a third-grader at W. H. Stevenson Elementary School in the Wilson School District. Lynne Clark said Teagan will talk with school administrators about how best to use the school’s $5,000 prize, some of it possibly going to the music and art departments.
Lynne Clark said she was home when the letter from Hasbro was delivered. When she opened the letter and saw the first word, Lynne Clark said she knew.
“It said congratulations,” she said. “Now we just have to send a reply that Teagan accepts.”
So what will Teagan’s $5,000 be spent on? Lynne Clark said a big portion of it will be put aside for Teagan’s college fund. But Teagan will be able to spend some of the prize money on what she wants. Teagan said she wants a new bedroom set.
“She wants a beaded curtain for her bedroom,” Lynne Clark said.
The Ready Go Play-Doh judges looked at a number of things with each entry, such as how colorful it was, its uniqueness and its quality. After narrowing all entries down to the 10 finalists, the public had a chance to weigh in. People could vote online once a day for two weeks ending on Halloween.
