STATEWIDE -- It's Bob Crowley Day. Again.

But this time, it is a Maine-wide observation. The South Portland City Council proclaimed Jan. 6 as "Bob Crowley Day" after Crowley, a South Portland resident, was proclaimed the $1 million winner on the TV show "Survivor."

With his Maine style, Crowley beat out 17 other contestants to take home the top prize. At 11 a.m. today, Gov. John Baldacci will welcome Crowley into his office and bestow upon him the honor of having his own day.

I wonder if refreshments will be served. Maybe "Gabon Pears," rice and coffee?
