Nov 28, 2016WPVGA names display contest winner
The Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Growers Association (WPVGA) presented a 2015 Fat Bob Harley Davidson to the winner of the 2016 Wisconsin potatoes display contest. The Harley is heading to the state’s Northwoods, and specifically, Trig’s in Rhinelander.
On Nov. 28, members of WPVGA Promotions Committee will present the motorcycle to Trig’s at the Rhinelander store (232 South Courtney Street) at 1 p.m.
The first place award to Trig’s is the result of an extravagant Wisconsin Potato promotion that extended throughout the whole store during the month of October, according to WPVGA Director of Promotions Dana Rady.
“The team at Trig’s went above and beyond the call of duty to showcase Wisconsin potatoes to their customers,” Rady says. “Besides designing a display in the produce department, they used various point of purchase materials from their Wisconsin potato supplier and invited the Spudmobile, Wisconsin’s educational traveling billboard, to make an appearance. They handed out healthy potato dish recipes to customers, held a coloring contest for kids and provided visitors with free samples of unique potato dishes that even included potato cake.”
The store also put up Wisconsin potatoes banners outside, made “Buy Local Buy Wisconsin” t-shirts for their staff to wear, and held a drawing to award one lucky person with a free grill as long as they walked through the Spudmobile during its visit.
