It will be north to Alaska for Wayne 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 want to congratulate Wayne on winning the grand prize. We know he will have an incredible time in Alaska,” says Phil Moore, vice president of marketing for Federated Auto Parts.
“Wayne is a valued Federated Car Care center member and this contest served as a great way to thank all of our members for their support and dedication to Federated," Moore adds. "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.”
All Federated Car Care Center members in good standing as of Oct. 15, 2009 were automatically eligible to earn a chance to win in the “Gold Rush Sweepstakes.”
Other prizes awarded include a Rolex watch, flat-screen TVs, Wii Sports Bundle, iPod Touches, Nintendo DS Lites and Federated collectible die cast trucks.
