Memories Grand Bahama Beach and Casino partnered with Dolly Madison in their second ‘ Local’ campaign, and on Monday, December 7 four winners were presented with certificates entitling them to a one night all-inclusive stay at the resort.

James Rolle, General Manager at Dolly Madison confirmed that when shoppers spent $50 or more at the store between November 1 and November 26, they became eligible to enter to win a deluxe all-inclusive one night stay for two adults plus up to two children (ages 12 and under) at Memories Grand Bahama Beach and Casino Resort.

Rolle furthered that it is important that Dolly Madison gives back to their valuable customers, adding that Christmas is the ideal time to encourage shoppers to shop in their store and locally.

The Drawing took place on November 26 at Dolly Madison and the lucky winning couples’ prize certificates will be valid for one year. The fortunate winners were: Rosaleen Bailey, Charles Klonaris, Whitlean Burrows, and James Edgecombe.

The Freeport News was able to catch up with Rosaleen Bailey and Whitlean Burrows after they were presented with their prizes at the resort on Monday. Baily said that this win has started her holiday season off very well. “My husband shops in Dolly Madison all the time and I am excited about being able to go to the resort and play tourist for a day,” Bailey shared.

Burrows also shared her excitement about winning, saying it is the first time she has ever won anything. “It is my husband’s birthday on the 21 and our anniversary on the 26 so this will be perfect for us,” Burrows added.
