iPod nano winners get their prizes

The successful initiative, which was organised by Craigavon Borough Council in partnership with chambers of commerce in Lurgan and Portadown, aimed to highlight the hidden treasures the area has to offer - from specialty shops and savvy shopping centres to a fabulous foodie scene, live music, outside adventure and arts and crafts for all the family – through a variety of mediums including billboards, leaflets and social media.

The campaign offered visitors from as far afield as Galway, Belfast and Newry the chance to enter the iPod Nano competition with hundreds dropping their entries into the three tourist information points across located across the borough.

The winners were Sinead Farry from Belfast, Louise Rogers from Gilford, Alastair Martin from Loughgall, Sandra O’Neill from Lurgan, Stephen Trew from Lurgan and Rosnah Anderson from Armagh.

Chair of the development committee, Councillor Darryn Causby, said: “Congratulations to the winners of this great competition. We are delighted with the success of the ‘Spoil Yourself This Summer’ campaign which attracted visitors from near and far to explore Portadown, Lurgan and Central Craigavon. he area has so much to offer, is easy to get around and is on the doorstep of a stunning natural world packed with leisure activities – it’s the perfect place to work, rest and play.”
