This November, we’re launching the “Your Hometown Hero” contest. Nominate someone who is making a difference in our community, and they could win a great prize from Ruby & Quiri!

Just in time for the Holiday Season, here’s your chance to make a difference in the life of someone who is making a difference in our community every day!

In 500 words or less, e-mail us a letter about the person in our community who you feel is truly making our area a better place to live.  The contest is open to residents of Fulton, Montgomery, Hamilton, & Schoharie Counties.

We’ll choose the top 20 nominees, and post their stories to a new Album on our Facebook page.  Then, we’ll put them to a vote.  Each nominee will remain anonymous.
