Finally cashing it in

Ont. couple gets free Ohio dinner, 15 years after coupon floats into backyard

Wed Aug 20, 10:24 AM

By The Associated Press

CANTON, Ohio - A couple from Waterford, Ont., has finally taken up an Ohio restaurant on an offer that arrived 15 years ago - by balloon.

For its 1993 grand opening, Nicky's Restaurant in Canton, Ohio, released balloons with attached cards good for a free dinner for two.

One of the balloons made it across Lake Erie and into the backyard of Margaret and Ken Savory in Waterford.

They were treated to pork chop dinners Tuesday night when they presented the card at Nicky's.

Owner Nick Augoustinos says he was shocked that they'd held on to the coupon for so long.

Margaret Savory says health problems had kept the couple from coming sooner.

Nicky's Restaurant in Canton, Ohio would be well within their rights to serve them 15 year old pork chops.
