In the month of June, Today’s Charlotte Woman hosted the “Daddy, Oh!” contest, challenging readers to match the famous fathers with their humorous or poignant quotes. A big thank you goes out to the contestants who entered this contest, held in coordination with The Ballantyne Hotel & Lodge.

And the winner is … Hodeaner Woodruff, who will enjoy two rounds of golf at The Ballantyne Hotel & Lodge, in addition to overnight accommodations and breakfast for two in the Gallery Restaurant.
