Contest time! Have a girls night out with Celine Dion

Are you crazy for Canadian crooners?

Are you daffy for free dinner?

Ga-ga for a girls night out?

You are in luck, my friends. While I have been out of town (I missed you!), the fine folks at News 2 have cooked up a great contest.

You and three girlfriends (or sisters, mom, any fun female) can win a Girls Night Out with Celine Dion.

The concert is Jan. 13 at the Sommet Center. And thanks to the fine folks at Merchants Restaurant, you’ll have a lovely dinner beforehand.

To enter, just scroll down on this page and click on Celine’s face.

If you do, my heart will go on. (Groan.)

Git on it!
