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,

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.
