Main Street shopping promotion drawing held
The Main Street holiday shopping promotion ended the Saturday before Christmas with a drawing at Peabody Hardware and Lumber. Main Street director, Joanna Brazil, had gathered up the eligible tickets from each of the participating merchants and the two winners' names were drawn at 3 p.m.
Steve Cheuvront of Burns and Larry Davis of Peabody were winners of the merchandise, gift items, and certificates from local businesses.
Brazil said there were more than 100 eligible tickets. However, she had not yet counted the number of people who actually participated.
"Several people had more than just one or two tickets in the box," she said.
The tickets represent more than $5,000 spent in Peabody businesses in the weeks before Christmas.
Brazil added that more than 50 of the 2001 commemorative Christmas ornaments had been sold as had 30 mugs depicting the old high school building.
