KROX and Bergan Travel sponsored a “Take a Trip on Us” contest. When people
shopped at twenty-four participating businesses, they entered their name in the drawing.
KROX called each one of the participating businesses, and that business drew one name from their box. That person then qualified for the final drawing that was held after the noontime news on February 17. Lori Plante of Crookston, who registered at Ampride Convenience Mart/Crookston Fuel Company in Crookston, was the lucky winner of a $2,000 travel gift certificate from Bergan Travel of Thief River Falls to be used for their vacation packages or bus tours.
Participating businesses were: Ampride Convenience Mart/Crookston Fuel Company, Anytime Fitness, Brost Chevrolet, Christian Brothers Ford, Crookston Eagles, Crookston Hardware Hank, Crookston Inn/Scobey’s Pub and Grub, Erickson Embroidery and Design and Second Street Boutique, HN Quality Plumbing, Happy Joe’s Pizza and Ice Cream Parlor, Hugo’s Family Marketplace, Jackson-Hewitt, Napa/Crookston Welding and Machine, Opticare, Real Good Bath and Body, Scott’s True Value and Wonderful Life Foods all of Crookston.
They also registered at Christian Motors in Fertile and Grand Forks Subaru-Kia in Grand Forks, Mireault’s Home Furnishings in Fosston, Ness Café in Erskine, Dakota Heritage Bank in Red Lake Falls, Purdy’s Shoes in Thief River Falls, and PKM Electric in Warren.
