Bossier City Brings Holiday Cheer with TKBS GM 3 Minute Smile Contest
In the heart of Bossier City, a joyous event took center stage on a Thursday evening that will surely be remembered by one lucky young lady. Eleven-year-old Elle Garrison made a headline-making dash through the aisles of Walmart, her eyes wide with excitement as she grabbed a staggering $3,468.58 worth of toys and goodies during the latest round of the widely celebrated KTBS 3 Minute Smile contest!
The Spirit of Christmas in Action
This enchanting shopping spree was part of a larger initiative known as the Spirit of Christmas campaign organized by KTBS. With the holiday season upon us, this event couldn’t come at a better time, filling children’s hearts and homes with warmth and joy. Elle, a 6th grader from Providence Classical Academy, didn’t just stroll into Walmart; she came in like a whirlwind, racing down the aisles and collecting an impressive haul of toys that would make any kid green with envy!
Play-by-Play Excitement
Bringing an extra layer of excitement to the event, local Sports Director Alex Anderson was on hand to provide an energetic play-by-play commentary. Viewers couldn’t help but feel the surge of adrenaline as he counted down the seconds, and KTBS anchor Brenda Teele was not far behind, cheering Elle on as she rushed through the store. With their enthusiastic presence, it almost felt like a high-energy sporting event—one where the prize is the joy of the holiday season!
More Winners to Come!
But the fun doesn’t stop here! The KTBS 3 Minute Smile competition has two more final runs left this season, both set to light up the community next week. And for those who are eager to join in on the action, the good news is that you can still enter a chance to win by registering online. The final winners will be drawn at random this Sunday, so make sure to get your name in the draw before it’s too late! Who doesn’t want a shot at a festive shopping spree just like Elle’s?
Brightening Local Lives
The whole initiative not only brings excitement to participants but also shines a spotlight on the spirit of giving during the holiday season. With the support of local sponsors like Lincoln Nova Vital Recovery Center, community members come together to ensure that Christmas cheer reaches everyone. After all, it’s not just about the toys; it’s about the laughter, the joy, and making those wonderful memories that come alive this time of year.
A Bright Future Ahead
For little Elle, this monumental shopping spree might just keep her awake a little longer than usual on Thursday night—not because of the sheer excitement, but probably because of the joy of imagining just how many adventures those toys will inspire.
