Armstrong Regional Co-op Customer Appreciation Day

Oct 21, 2017 | 2:32 PM

Ayva, Camryn and Brendan from your KISS FM Events Crew were at the Armstrong regional Co-op in Vernon helping out with customer appreciation day!

Today we were handing out sunrype and free tickets to people that signed up for a Co-op membership! Besides that, the Co-op was giving away free coffee and had a draw for a $250 gift card and swag bag. The Vernon Lions club was also with us, selling lunch for a great price and giving all the proceeds to the food bank. All in all, it was a very happy atmosphere, filled with smiles despite the unpleasant weather.

~This was Brendan, Camryn and Ayva for your KISS FM Events Crew powered by Capri Insurance.
