Amador County – The highly successful “Shop Jackson” promotion through the Jackson Rancheria paid back one of Jackson’s loyal customers Wednesday evening in $5000 cash. Kellee Davenport, a Real Estate Agent and Jackson resident, was surprised when she was awarded the prize after two names were drawn to people not in attendance. Jackson Mayor Connie Gonsalvez joined Jackson Rancheria CEO Rich Hoffman on the Casino’s Dalton Town Hall stage to pick the lucky winner. Davenport’s boyfriend, Kam Merzlak, owner of Merzlak Signs, was on hand to film the drawing. When asked what she would do with the money, Davenport’s reply had nothing to do with Disneyland. She said she would be using the money to pay bills. Davenport entered the drawing during one of her visits to Jose’s Mexican Restaurant. Jose’s owner Martha Perez told the Rancheria that “this program is so successful that my customers just come in and show their card.” She said she is “amazed at the number of Dreamcatcher’s Club members who eat at our restaurant. This is truly a win-win program.” The “Shop Jackson” promotion began last summer as a partnership between the Jackson Rancheria and the Jackson Revitalization Committee. Since then, over 70 businesses have signed on to offer special promotions and discounts to Rancheria Dreamcatcher’s Club members who shop in Jackson. Members who participated in this program between November 1st, 2009 and January 31st 2010, were entered in a drawing to win $5000 at the Jackson Rancheria. The Jackson Revitalization Committee will be holding another raffle and the kick off meeting is on February 11th at the Jackson Civic Center. The public is welcome to attend and find out more about the JRC and its efforts to revitalize the local community and economy. Story by Alex Lane This email address is being protected from spambots.
