On May 16th, the big winners of the Shelburne Lion’s Club draw for a three minute shopping spree at John’s No Frills – area residents Scott Armstrong and partner Liz Branco – were overjoyed at their good fortune. “I only had enough change in my pocket that day for a ticket, I bought one and never thought anything of it,” explained Scott Armstrong. “It’s so exciting to win. I’m hoping to stock up on general items, and with barbecue season starting up, it’ll be a great help.” “We have four kids between us, so this is very helpful. We were so surprised to win. It’s really great!” said Branco. Armstrong and Branco confessed they were so excited to win they had visited John’s No Frills three times in advance to figure out what they wanted, and where it was located. This big win marks the third fundraising event the Shelburne Lions have held with John van Teunenbroek, owner of John’s No Frills. A very exciting morning as the timer went and Armstrong ran at the speed of light throughout the store followed by shopping cart sprinting, Shelburne Lion’s President, Martin Mirander. After three minutes had passed, Armstrong and Branco had managed to win a jaw dropping $499.70 worth of groceries!
