The Tofield Mercury once again coordinated their annual Sweetheart Draw this year, where couples could enter their sweetheart’s name into a draw to win prizes from the local participating businesses.
The winners this year were Bob and Tilly Auerbach, of Camrose, who frequent the town of Tofield to buy their meat.
“We make a trip about once every two-three months. We come out for Tofield Packers and Tilly’s,” said Tilly Auerbach.
The Auerbach’s have been married for 53 years, and have long resided in the city of Camrose.
“I’ve lived here for 70 years, and we met here in Camrose. We got together with some friends, and then we just started dating and that was it,” Auerbach said.
The couple has two children, and they both work in Camrose.
“I’ve been working at the high school and my husband works at The Bethany Group,” she said.
This year the participating businesses in the sweethearts draw were Busy B Bargains (gift basket), Stockyards Vet ($25 gift certificate), Subway ($40 gift certificate), The Sour Moose ($25 gift certificate), Tofield Mercury (one year subscription), Tilly’s Pizza (one medium, two topping pizza), Tofield Eyecare ($50 gift certificate), and Tofield Packers ($40 gift certificate).
“I would like to thank the businesses for putting out such lovely prizes,” Auerbach said.
