Entries are now closed for the Trivia Trail competition. Thanks to all who entered.
This innovative shop local campaign encouraged our loyal Mail readers and digital subscribers to hunt for local trivia clues throughout the Mount Alexander Shire over the 10 week promotion, submit their weekly entry form and be in the running to win vouchers to spend at our 19 fantastic participating businesses.
Each week the Castlemaine Mail gave away $100 to the correct winner of that week’s clue.
At the end of the 10 week competition our 10 lucky winners went into the draw to win a $1,000 voucher to be spent at participating businesses.
All remaining entries also went into the draw to win one of four $250 vouchers to be spent at participating businesses.
The businesses featured in this year’s promotion included: Beehave, Hot ‘n’ Crusty, Maldon Newsagency, Extremity Castlemaine, Mulberrys Delicatessen, PETStock Castlemaine, Maine Shoes & Accessories, Wesley Hill Bakery, Greenaway Bins, Midland Pet Supplies, Clifford Quality Cuts, Mensland Castlemaine, PJ’s Tyres, Top End Technology, Cumberland Hotel, Castlemaine IGA, Lyal Eales Stores, Chapman’s Framing and Photography and Stocks Gifts & Gallery/Ivy & Grace.
Castlemaine Mail manager and sales manager Lynda Brew said the new promotion aims to be a fun and inactive way to connect our local businesses and readers.
“The new promotion celebrates our local region with the 10 clues over the 10 weeks on various aspects of our shire, and sees us giving away $3000 in prizemoney to spend at our wonderful local businesses encouraging community members to shop local and support our thriving local businesses,” she said.
