>Oakridge Middle School in North Naples.

>from Cape Coral. Her nickname was selected from over 312 that were
>entered.

>Denver. The same company has designed the logos of the USBL's New Jersey
>Shorecats and Pennsylvania ValleyDawgs. They have also designed the
>logos of the NHL's Colorado Avalanche, the NBA's Denver Nuggets, and
>Major League Soccer's Chicago Fire.
