Tamra P. of Galesburg, Illinois, must be feeling really grand since her entry was chosen to win the $1,000 Cash Giveaway on September 25, 2024! That is certainly the best news to open in your email and now you have all that cash to spend any way you’d like to.

With fall just starting and everyone thinking about the upcoming holiday season, it’s a great time to have all that money on hand! Now you might elevate your plans to include fun family outings, shopping, dining, and perhaps even buying supplies for holiday baking of your favorite treats like cookies, cupcakes and pies!

If you love the change of seasons, one thing on your list just might be the Fall Family Festival where you can all enjoy a fun day filled with great food, drinks, music, hay rides and lots of fun fall themed activities. You can also go pumpkin and apple picking, which is a great activity that you can continue at home baking pies or whatever you like to make with pumpkins and apples. Of course, you’ll want to get some pumpkins for carving to put on your front porch for Halloween and you just might add to your decorations this year and get some of those giant sized spooky or cute inflatables to decorate your front lawn.

Of course, Halloween is only the beginning of the holiday season and you may be making plans for Thanksgiving to invite everyone over to your house for a fabulous family feast! You can get everything you need to put out the best holiday spread of all your favorite dishes and even decorate the table with cornucopia and festive candles.  

You may also want to get a head start on your holiday gift shopping and start making your nice list with ideas of what you want to buy everyone. Or you might be a crafter, and this is the perfect time to stock up on supplies to start creating those unique one of a kind handmade gifts that everyone will always treasure. You certainly can’t put a price on the skill and caring that goes into a custom made specialty gift!

Of course, winning a cool grand is also a great reason to treat yourself to something special to mark the occasion. You could take a ride over to the Attic Antique Shop to browse around for some unique treasures you can’t find anywhere else. The owners love to welcome visitors and they certainly have a lot of interesting things to browse through no matter what you might be in the market for. Sometimes you don’t know what you want to buy until you happen upon something that is simply perfect and that’s the best kind of surprise to get when you’re shopping for yourself! You may even come across some interesting gift items that are just perfect for some of your friends, family members, or anyone else who might be on your gift list like a nice neighbor who you want to show your appreciation to.

Your next stop might be Brighter Life, which is a fantastic place to shop for books, greeting cards, home decorations, jewelry, clothing and more. And since you’ll be downtown, you might invite your best friend to join you so you can go shopping together and out for a nice lunch afterwards. In fact, you’re in walking distance to the best downtown dining establishments so that’s a breeze to pick what like and grab a table. If you’re in the mood to continue your winner celebration, the Cherry Street Brewing Company could be the perfect place to enjoy a celebratory meal paired with some of the best craft brews you can find anywhere! Everyone here is treated like family and the prices are so reasonable starting with half price appetizers on weekdays. It’s got a festive atmosphere that’s perfect for a party, so you might even want to call more friends and family members to join you there because as they say, the more the merrier!

Of course, these are just some of the ways you might enjoy your winnings. It’s absolutely up to you how to use all that prize money. We hope whatever you decide, you have the time of your life and always look back on the day you won $1,000 Cash with a great big smile on your face! Thanks for entering Sweeps4All!
