each sponsor of the promotion was entered into a prize drawing, which this year was $500 for two merchants. The Christmas Bucks promotion is designed to encourage local shopping for the holidays. No purchase was necessary to be part of the contest, but entrants had to go to the individual stores to drop off their form and were permitted only one entry per visit. This year’s first place winner of $500 was Jacqueline Douglas. Her winning entry was deposited at Evans Agency in Rochester. Douglas said she was thrilled to win, and added, “I’ve never won anything like this!” The second place winner of $250 was Taren Conklin, who dropped off her entry at Schmack Em’ Bait & Tackle of Nyona

The ninth annual Shopping Guide News of Fulton County Christmas Bucks promotion was another success, with $1,000 in local shopping scrip being distributed to area residents, and two lucky sponsors each being awarded checks for $500. Hundreds of entries were dropped off at participating area merchants in hopes of winning some of the coveted currency, which can be used at any of the participating businesses. This year, 16 merchants took part in the promotion, including Ace Hardware of Winamac, Clay’s Flooring and Interiors, Craft Crossing, Evans Agency, Flirt Boutique, Harvest Moon Deli & Market, Lilly Pad Boutique, Pe-
tunia’s Antiques & Treasures, Refined — A Resale Boutique, Rensberger & Phil’s Automotive Repair, Richie’s Men’s Wear, Rochester Meats & Deli, RTC Fiber Communications, Schmack Em’ Bait & Tackle, Smith Sawyer Smith Agency, Webb’s Pharmacy of Rochester & Akron, Wilson Fertilizer and Grain. Each sponsor displayed a box in their business into which readers could drop off entry forms printed inside the Shopping Guide News, as well as available at the store. One entry was randomly drawn from each location and winners were then pulled from those 16 entries for five prizes of Christmas Bucks, ranging from $50 to $500. The bucks can be spent in any of the participating businesses before the end of the year. In addition,
