More than 40 people with sharp eyes participated in the contest. We put the names of all the spotters in a hat, and the winner was Bobby Hembree from Reynolds. Congrats, Bobby! He’ll receive a $25 gift certificate from Americare Pharmacy. We loved hearing from our readers! “Thank you so much for setting up this contest! So much fun every time!” • “You can’t keep doing this to me. I can’t read the paper until I find him!” • “What fun!” • “Found him!” • “The little guy has been a bad boy and gotten mixed in with medication bottles.” Billy Worley let us know he’s going to fill the need left since Silas’ Produce did not open this year.
