Old Bay Names Maryland Native, Army Veteran Its Ultimate Fan

HUNT VALLEY, Md. (WJZ) -- After a nationwide search, Old Bay says it has found its "Ultimate Old Bay Fan": a Maryland native who now lives across the country.

Cori Russell, a U.S. Army veteran who is now stationed in Lakeside, California, near San Diego, won an Old Bay trophy and electric scooter for her love of the seasoning.

Old Bay owner McCormick and Company said Russell beat out hundreds of entries to claim the honor.

Russell's post with a custom Old Bay cornhole board and custom license plate helped her take home the trophy.

Even when she was stationed overseas in Germany, she said she kept Old Bay close.

The contest ran from June 1 to August 20.
