It will be north to Alaska for Walt Froelich, owner of A-1 Automotive Sales and Service, a Federated Car Care Center in Spokane, Wash. Froelich is the grand prize winner of an all-expense paid Alaskan cruise for two in the 2009 Federated Gold Rush Sweepstakes.

"We had a tremendous response from our members to the Gold Rush Sweepstakes and we know they will be even more excited when they find out what we have in store for them in 2010.”
