OSAGE CITY—The annual Christmas on Us contest is in
its second of four weeks and $200 has already been awarded
to four lucky Osage County shoppers. All four ticket numbers
that were hidden in ads last week were found and claimed.
Each of the winners received $50 in scrip to be spent at any
of the participating Christmas on Us business sponsors.
Johnni Tosh, Vassar, claimed one of the four numbers hidden
in last week’s advertisements. Tosh’s ticket was
pulled from those collected at Dr. Lenahan and Associates,
in Lyndon, and the number was hidden in the Casey’s
General Store advertisement. Tosh said she would spend her
winnings to buy Christmas presents.
Linda Ullery, Scranton, was another winner, with her ticket
pulled from those collected at Jim’s Garage, in Scranton.
The number was hidden in the T-N-T Video advertisement. Ullery
said she would use her $50 in scrip money to buy groceries
from one of the contest’s sponsors.
Danielle Garrison, Overbrook, was the third winner, picking
up her winning ticket from Santa Fe Trail Meats, in Overbrook.
The winning number was located in an advertisement for Santa
Fe Trail Meats, and Garrison said she would likely spend the
prize at the same place she obtained the ticket.
The fourth winner was Michelle Hoopes, Osage City, and her
three sons. Her winning ticket number was pulled from those
collected at Branine Chevrolet Buick, in Osage City. The number
was hidden in Hannah Auto Repair’s advertisement. Hoopes
said she will use the scrip money on Christmas presents for
the boys.
Six $50 instant prizes remain up for grabs as the second week
of The Herald-Chronicle’s Christmas on Us promotion
begins. The countdown is underway for the grand prize drawing
for two $1,000 prizes, and two $250 prizes, to be held 9 a.m.
Saturday, Dec. 17, at Osage City High School auditorium. Everyone
is invited for donuts and coffee served in the school cafeteria,
and local entertainment will add to the holiday festivities.
See pages 2B-5B of this
week’s Herald-Chronicle to find hidden ticket numbers
in the ads and a complete list of rules.
Through the Christmas on Us giveaway, Osage County merchants
are making sure that shopping at home pays. Not only do shoppers
save money, gas and frustration by shopping at home, they
have a chance to win part of the $3,000 being given away in
the contest.
For every $10 spent at participating merchants, shoppers get
a ticket. Those who don’t buy, or who are just looking,
can get a free ticket each week by stopping by The Herald-Chronicle’s
office. No purchase is necessary to win.
You must be present at the grand prize drawing to win, and
the scrip money is only good at participating merchants. It
is simple to win but tough to decide where to spend the winnings
with the 37 merchants participating in this countywide contest.
