EXPRESS ONLINE PHOTO SCAVENGER HUNT GRAND PRIZE WINNERS ANNOUNCED

With almost 100 participants, the first Pleasanton Express Online Photo Scavenger Hunt was a success. Our original plan was to  feature 100 photos that appeared in the Express from the 1950s to present, but we were just enamored with the classic look of our early photos that we used them throughout the four week contest. Twenty five photos were added weekly to the pleasantonexpress.com photo gallery for participants to search for the answers to the 10 clues. The clues were found in the print and online editions of the Express. You can see the weekly winners on our Facebook and Twitter pages as well as on the ad on page 4C of this issue.

Over 40 prizes were donated by 35 sponsors. A big thank you to DC Plumbing, The Gym, Ramos Tire, Plestex Theater, Friends & Family Salon, Alexandra's Antiques & Gifts, Gracie's Beauty Salon, H-E-B, Bedazzled, Bert Williams Insurance, Cafe Chris, Center Pharmacy, Chili's Bar & Grill, Claude Zabava - State Farm, Comet Cleaners, Dairy Queen, El Castillo Mexican Restaurant, Ross Nieschwitz - Farm Bureau, Gabriel’s Liquors, Hurley Auto Parts, Johnny Lambaria - State Farm, Jourdanton Hardware, Kaleidoscoops, Little Ceasar's, Mane Image, Mary's Flowers, Popalicious Cake Pops, Rexco Pharmacy, A Rey of Flowers, RM Car Care, Sears, South Texas Regional Medical Center, Virginia Twins Garden Market, Yours & Mine Gift Shop and Yummy Buffet. Without their generosity the Photo Scavenger Hunt would not be.

Now that this edition of the Online Photo Scavenger Hunt has come to a close, it is time to announce our grand prize winners. We took the names of all Scavenger Hunt participants whether they won or not and drew names.
