Cobh & Harbour Chamber Shop Local Competition

The Cobh & Harbour Chamber had visits from Spiderman, Santa’s Helper and Princess Sorcha when it was time to host the draw for the Chamber’s shop local initiative for 2010.  The “Try Cobh First this Christmas” was a big success with tens of thousands of entries for the top prize.  It was Spiderman who pulled the winning ticket of 1000 euro worth of vouchers which went to Christine Irwin O’Flaherty.   Santa’s Helper produced the second receipt which belonged to Mike O’Connor of Stacks Tce while Princess Sorcha selected the third prize receipt which was Liz Collins of Harbour View.  Over 60 businesses contributed to the prize fund of over 3000 euro worth of vouchers and there were 8 prizes in all.

The Cobh & Harbour Chamber would like to thank those businesses who have participated and to you, the locals, who are “Trying Cobh First”. This should go someway to ensure local work for local people in the future.
