MiniGumshoes

From Friday, August 6, through Sunday, August 22, 31 Phinney-Greenwood businesses invite you to enter their MiniGumshoe Contests for still more opportunities to win prizes!

To do a MiniGumshoe, stop by a participating business and ask for a MiniGumshoe Contest entry form. Find the three special Gumshoe stickers placed around the store, write the word associated with each sticker and the SPECIAL CONTEST WORD on your entry form, drop it into the MiniGumshoe Contest box and you're entered for the store's prize drawing.

What's the SPECIAL CONTEST WORD? Here's a not-so-subtle-hint: it's MONK.

It costs nothing to enter a MIniGumshoe, but you can enter only once at each store. Sure, that limits your chances of winning at a particular store, but there are 31 stores for heaven's sake! Do each store's MiniGumshoe and, trust us, your odds of taking home a prize are significantly greater than winning the state's Mega Millions jackpot!

Prize drawings will be held Tuesday, August 24. If your entry form is drawn and you’ve filled it out correctly, someone from the store will notify you of your good luck by close of business the following day.

Here's what you might win.
