Papal skateboard contest winning entry to be presented to pope

I posted about the "papal skateboard contest" earlier this week.

More from Associated Press:

One of the many gifts Pope Benedict will receive when he arrives in New York City next month will be a skateboard designed by a local child.

The Archdiocese of New York is holding a contest this spring to see who could design the best "Official Papal Skateboard" for the 80-year-old pontiff.

About 70 children entered the competition. A winner has yet to be picked.

The idea for the contest came from a youth skateboarding club at St. Elizabeth's Church in Manhattan.

The pope is expected to arrive in New York on April 18. Church authorities hope to give him the skateboard during a youth rally in Yonkers.

update: oh my gosh.
