Lindsborg Family Wins Dala Town Contest

May 12, 2020 Dala Town

Congratulations to the Scritchfield family, winners of our drawing for a $50 gift card after completing the Compass Walk selfie contest. Kayla Scritchfield said her girls were very excited to find out that they had won, “We will use the gift card to visit Blacksmith Coffee,” she said.

The contest consisted of four sites scattered around town to visit with instructions to snap a selfie and send it in for the drawing. The Scritchfields also made a visit to a fifth bonus site, our studio at 105 N. Main for their final snap! Great job guys!

Special thanks to everyone around Lindsborg for staying safe while getting out there and exercising in the fresh spring air. We love Lindsborg!
