Since today marks the start of the regular season for the Philadelphia 76ers, we thought it was the perfect time to announce the winner of the "people's vote" for this year's Scrapple Sculpting Contest: Helen Reynolds and her sculpture of an RTM-themed LeBron James Sixers jersey. Congratulations to Helen as well as the "judge's vote" winner Toni Lee for this awesome rendition of our mascot, Philbert the Pig.

We are looking forward to our next big event, the Reading Terminal Meat Market Challenge, which is just four days away on Saturday, October 24. Join us for a Rocky lookalike contest, recreate the meat punching scene from Rocky and enjoy Rocky tunes outside on Filbert St.
