I wanted to thank the staff of the Grand Forks Gazette and all the sponsors of the 2016 shopping spree contest. My name was drawn at the Extra Foods store, which made me one of the lucky 18 final contestants.
The draw for the ultimate winner of the shopping spree was held at the Gazette office and was well attended by finalists and their spouses, staff and local dignitaries. Along with the tasty appies was the strong message of thank you for supporting local businesses which was well received by those in attendance.
I would like to thank Extra Foods for the $25 gift certificate I received as a runner-up and congratulate the ultimate winner.
Thanks again, Grand Forks…way to go!
