    A Warsaw couple has a new waterbed - thanks to a promotion conducted by the Indiana Pacers.

Rick and Debbie Foster and their sons Jason and Gavin went to Market Square Arena this week to see the Pacers play the Chicago Bulls. At halftime, Rick was selected to race from one end of the floor to the other while pushing Debbie on a small waterbed. At each basket she stood up on the bed and tested her skill at putting the ball through the hoop - which she did successfully. The talent of bed racing and getting the ball in the basket ended up winning the Fosters a prize - a new waterbed.
