Tickets for the Third Annual South Cariboo Lioness Club Shopping Spree are selling quickly, says club secretary Lydia Kendall.

The winner receives a five-minute shopping spree at Save-On-Foods, worth $500.

We printed 300 tickets, and only have a couple of books left. We did really well this year, and have had no trouble selling them.”

Second prize is a $100 Save-On-Foods gift certificate, and the third prize is a handmade wooden flower container donated by local craftsman Joe St. Germain.

The draw will be on Nov. 25, and the shopping spree takes place on Dec. 2.

The winner has a week to plan their attack,” laughs Kendall.

One winner was a lady who really liked baking, so she knew exactly where she wanted to go and what to get.

We encourage people to come and watch. The spree takes place at 8:30 a.m., so it’s over before the store opens. It’s lots of fun.”

Tickets are $5 each, and can be purchased at Save-On-Foods and Cariboo Mall on Saturdays, or by calling Kendall at 250-395-4135.

Money raised by the sale of the tickets goes to benefit causes within the community, particularly to assist children with medical issues.
