Ever dream of winning a beauty pageant? How about entering your child or your pet? At the very least you’ve probably seen pictures of pageants from both ends of the spectrum – the gorgeous specimens that make up the cast of Miss Universe on the one hand, and the World’s Ugliest Dogs on the other.

A lot of these superlatives are out no doubt of reach for most of us. But what about the Seacoast’s “ugliest furnace”? Sound a little more attainable? Now through February 8th, Simply Green, in partnership with Key Heating, is offering a free furnace to replace the ugliest furnace on the seacoast, complete with a free tank of BioHeat.

To enter, go to www.seacoastbiofuels.com/uglyfurnace, and fill out the entry form. The winner will be announced on Friday February 12th.

Think your furnace is too good lucking? You can still follow the pageant and its sordid contestants by checking out Simply Green’s Twitter and Facebook feeds (just click on the respective link!)
