This morning at 7:45 the Dauphin Co-op celebrated 80 years by having Blake and Colleen Johnson take part in the 80-second shopping spree.
Blake shares how it felt when they found out they won the contest to do the shopping spree.
“We were really surprised. Co-op has been very meaningful to our family. With our kids, we’re a 4th generation of Co-Op shoppers and we just love the store.”
Blake says he took some time to form a strategy before starting the shopping spree.
“I had walked it beforehand and walked with my kids and they told me everything they wanted. So it was that and run as fast as I could.”
Blake was the runner for Colleen and their 4 kids, and he gives the rundown of what they picked up.
“My kids wanted cupcakes. I got a lot of meat for our family, there were different meat products that our kids like, we got some toilet paper of course because everyone needs that, and peanut butter for our family.”
Everything came to a total of $374.58.
He had one last thing to add.
“We just want to say thank you to Co-Op for this opportunity.”
