Who Won the Window?
Congratulations to Ed & Paula Palagyi!
From November 15th - December 15th, locals and visitors who shopped at
participating downtown Greenville businesses, received tickets for our
Win the Window contest.
Ed & Paula are from Conneaut, Ohio, a small community located on
the shores of Lake Erie. The couple traveled to Greenville over the
Thanksgiving holiday to visit family. During their visit, they made
their way downtown and did some shopping at multiple stores in the
downtown district, little did they know how this decision would benefit
them greatly in just a few weeks!
On Friday, December 19th, we prepared for the drawing. We were able to
determine the amount of tickets submitted based upon weight. We were
thrilled to find that 136,000 tickets were submitted for the contest!
Each ticket represented $5 spent in downtown Greenville, for a grand
total of over $684,000!
Amber Garrett, Executive Director of Main Street Greenville drew the
winning ticket at 3:30 pm. She selected Ed's ticket from the giant 50
gallon tub of pre-stirred tickets!
On Monday, December 21st, the couple traveled to Greenville to collect
their prizes and to complete some last minute Christmas shopping.
They were both extremely excited and wanted us to share their sincere
gratitude. They plan to keep a few of the items and share the rest with
friends and family over the holidays.
Thank you to all of the participating businesses and to Second National
Bank for their sponsorship of the contest. Also, we appreciate
everyone who chose to shop local this holiday season!
