PITTSBURGH, Feb. 22 (UPI) -- Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl fulfilled his Super Bowl bet by shoveling a snow-covered church walkway and flying a Green Bay city flag.

Ravenstahl carried out his part of the Super Bowl XLV bet he made with Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt by shoveling the walkway at St. Rosalia Parish, the Pittsburgh church frequented by Packers Coach Mike McCarthy's parents, Joe and Ellen, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Tuesday.

The mayor finished his obligation by hanging the Wisconsin city's flag from Pittsburgh's City-County Building portico, where it is scheduled to remain for one day.
