Some area residents became a bit merrier on December 13th with the announcement of the winners of the Kewaunee County Buy Local Holiday Shopping Spree. Winners received gift certificates to local businesses totaling $500.
Julie Paul of Luxemburg and Brenda Asmus of Kewaunee were the lucky grand prize winners of the $100 and $200 (value) gift certificates. Other winners include Bill Urban (Luxemburg), Christine Robinson (Kewaunee), Scott Vlies (Algoma), Ronni Ledvina (Green Bay).
The winners and others who participated in the Buy Local Holiday Promotion were encouraged to visit a total of six local merchants for holiday shopping in an effort to support the local economy. "Holiday Shoppers made over 1200 visits to businesses within the Buy Local Network. The promotion engaged consumers from all over Kewaunee County, as well as outside county. We are very pleased at the exposure for the local business community," said Jennifer Brown, KCEDC Executive Director.
