Dixie Lee Chicken, located at the Hanmer Valley Shopping
Centre, was a popular place with children and parents alike during the
month of June. As part of a Customer Appreciation promotion, Dixie Lee
provided free ice cream cones to children under the age of 16 who wore any
kind of team sweater and who picked up a coupon from one of eight other
participating merchants in the mall.
By the end of the month, Dixie Lee had given out 779 ice
cream cones worth a total value of over $800. This was the best way that
Joeanne Lafond, owner of Dixie Lee, and her staff could think of to show
their support of minor sports participants in Valley East.
As well as the free ice cream cones, the following people
won valuable prizes from individual merchants in the mall:
Sharon Welsh, of Hanmer, won a $50 gift certificate from
Billie Jeans;
Dan Dube, of Hanmer, won a pair of Roots sunglasses from Drs. Dunlop and
Labreque, Optometrists;
Brandee Pearson, of Val Caron, won a Movie Rental Package from Popcorn
Audio & Video;
Mark Poitras, of Hanmer, won a gift certificate from Gallery & Brew
Shop;
Leeza Burdux, of Capreol, won a T-shirt and Gerbil toys from The Pet
Palace;
Dan Dube, of Hanmer, was a double winner, taking a prize pack of computer
games from Valley Computers.
Solemates Family Footwear and Lou's Shoe Repair also awarded prizes.
