Last week, the Paddock Lake Village Board approved the concept of a contest to set the design of a 25th anniversary village t-shirt. Profits from the shirts would help defray the cost of the planned 50th anniversary celebration village officials would like to host next summer.
Trustee Karen Harris said she had secured a $25 gift card for Drifters that could be used as a prize in the contest. But now she says the pot has gotten a bit richer.
Joe and Ann Riesselmann, village residents and local business owners (Joe also is a village trustee), will donate a $100 cash prize to be given to the winning entry, Harris reported.
“I was so excited,” Harris said in an email message about the donation. “Hopefully we will get a lot of people to participate.”
