Tyrone Rife said he didn't even know that he had been selected as the March Beech Tree News Fan of the Month until he received calls and text messages from friends.
"I'm just real excited to be selected as the Fan of the Month," said Rife. "I'm surprised, but really appreciative to have won."
Rife describes himself as someone who likes to eat, especially Garcia's, so the choice was easy for him. Rife selected Garcia's Mexican Restaurant in Morgantown as the business where he wanted to spend his $50.
