Folsom Street Fair Contest Deadline Looms

SAN FRANCISCO - Aug. 31 is the deadline for entries in The Sword 's Folsom Street Fair contest. In conjunction with the San Francisco Visitors Bureau and The Sword parent company NakedSword, the e-zine plans to give away two all-expenses-paid round trips to the 25th anniversary incarnation of the legendary leather festival.

Valued at more than $3,000, the three-day, two-night grand prize includes airfare, hotel accommodations, $200 in dining passes, free access to public transit and select museums and two VIP passes to the Folsom Street Fair, which this year will begin Sept. 28.

To win, contestants must rely on their filthy imaginations. Readers are asked to share their kinkiest or scariest sexual adventures, Newlywed Game-style. The best entries will be published in a pre-Folsom feature at The Sword, and the filthiest submission will receive the grand prize.

"Folsom Street Fair is one of our favorite things about San Francisco," said The Sword editor Mike Stabile. "We're excited to offer two lucky readers the chance to experience that which truly defies explanation."
