Wow! Please let us take a minute and thank everyone for attending our first Purina Bucks Customer Appreciation Event on January 27 at the Extraco Events Center in Waco. We had over 200 folks attend this party and dinner co-sponsored by our sister store McGregor General Store, and 2 other local Purina stores, Brazos Feed and Supply and B & S Farm and Home. Purina Bucks were handed out starting in November for every qualified Purina premium horse feed purchase. Guests used their Purina Bucks to enter a silent auction, a live auction and raffle items. Among the items available were an All Season Feeders fire pit, a Yeti cooler, a 50″ TV, a T-Box deer blind, a $1000 Visa Gift Card, and an $1800 Holland Gas Grill! Local Waco merchants donated prizes for the raffle and auctions. We thank them for their kindness and gifts. Heather Grabe was the winner of a new iPad, Adora Becktell was the lucky winner of the $1000 Visa Gift Card and Shannon Heiner couldn’t wait to tell her husband she won the Holland Gas Grill!
