CORDELE - There’s still time to guess how many jelly beans are in the jar for the downtown Easter drawing.
Visit any of the following businesses before Thursday, April 5 and submit your guess. Each business will award a prize, and winners will be announced on Phil’s Noon Day Show on Channel 55 Friday, April 6.
Contest sponsors include Serendipity (formerly Bush’s Antiques), Cordele Carnegie Library, Crisp County Power, Hurt & Associates, Hurt Motor Company, Planters First, Mike Frasers Auto Repair, Cordele Properties,
GTC Fitness, Regions Bank, Gold & Gallery, Hatchers Feed & Seed, Wells Hardware, Murray Printing Company, Pass Furniture Company, Brady’s Best Buys, Greyhound Bus Station and JW Designs.
This is a Downtown Business Organization and Cordele Main Street promotion, and everyone is invited to participate.
Renee Fraser, president of the DBO, said jars filled with jelly beans have been placed at the 18 business locations, and participants may guess the number of jelly beans in the jar. Those closest to the right number will win a prize donated by the business.
“Prizes can be anything from a giant Easter basket to service for your car to just about anything the business wants to donate,” said Fraser.
