GRAND PRIZE WINNER … Great joy was “in the room” on March 4, 2021, not only for the winner of a 50” Samsung Smart TV, but for the Chamber Director Bill Drummer and Chamber members as they shared what a terrific success the Wauseon Chamber Restaurant Week was.
“Over 315 cards were turned in for the drawings,” Drummer said, “and all of the twelve participating restaurants couldn’t say enough about how it boosted their business! They all want us to do it again next year. Records were broken for a number of the participants as their daytime business picked up and evenings were better than ever.”
They are hoping that when COVID restrictions are lifted, they will not only be able to do this again, but bring back the Taste of Wauseon as well, maybe as a kick-off night for the Restaurant Week.
Seen here together are Grand Prize winner Gerald Damon, with a big thumbs-up, holding the TV with Chamber Director Drummer on the other end.
Celebrating with them, all smiles under their masks, in the back row from left to right, are Chamber President and Fulton County Commissioner Jeff Rupp, Chamber Administrative Assistant Josie Dulaney, Tami Bowser for Premier Bank, Deb Kauffman for Wauseon F&M Bank, and Tyson Moss for The State Bank.
The three banks plus the Fulton County Development Corporation were the Sponsors for the Prizes, which included twenty $25 gift certificates as well as the Big Screen TV.
