The winners of the Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association’s Win Your Wish contest have been announced.
Sponsors of the contest along with BIA board members and staff gathered at Ryan Jewellers Wednesday morning to do the draw.
To enter the Win Your Wish contest, participants simply had to make a purchase at any of the participating businesses, write their name, number and the desired prize package on the back of a receipt and put it into one of the draw boxes.
Any receipt could be entered to win the draw from a coffee to a pair of eyeglasses and shoppers could enter as many times as they liked.
There were 26,500 receipts entered in the contest for the five prize packages worth $2,000 each. That was 4,500 more receipts than last year.
More than 75 local businesses decorated and displayed draw boxes for customers to easily enter receipts. Winners of that contest were announced on Sunday.
Ineke Boekhorst, executive director of the BIA thanked everyone for shopping local
“You did shop in our downtown and that is really exciting,” Boekhorst said after the draw.
The next big campaign for the Downtown BIA will be for the lantern festival at the end of February when they will be holding a poetry contest.
