And the Winner Is ...

Tina Conley won Yorkville Patch's Valentine's contest - and a $50 gift card to BlackStone Bar & Grill.

By midnight Friday, I had 10 entries for the Valentine's contest (and nine cute, heart-warming stories).

So, I found an online random number generator, which produced the number two. So the winner is Tina Conley, who was the second entry to the contest.

And guess who her Valentine is? Christopher Orme

Conley wrote: "My Valentine is special because: He is my son! My only child. Christopher served his country as a US Marine for 8 years, finished college and is studying to become a chaplain to help other soldiers. He recently got married to the most beautiful girl and is the most incredible young man. He will always be my Valentine!"

Curious about the other entries? Check back at Yorkville Patch on Sunday and Monday, when we'll run the other entries.
