\nPelar Sweeting, the 8th finalist of the evening, stepped up to the Jeep and with a shaky hand inserted her key into the lock. With 7 finalists already out of the running, her chances had increased significantly. But could she really win? Pelar had driven to the event in a 20-year-old wagon and was desperate for a new ride. Earlier in the evening, the Nassau resident had replied with certainty when asked if she thought she would be the winner. But would she?<\/p>\nWith one look heaven-ward she slowly turned her key in the lock and as it smoothly released the catch she opened the door of her brand new, shiny black \u2018Knight Rider\u2019 Ford Escape! Fireworks lit the sky and falling confetti mixed with her tears. She could barely contain her excitement as the roar of the new engine brought a fresh surge of cheers from the crowd.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hoped and I prayed that I would win and I\u2019m so grateful! I\u2019m so thankful I bought my Samsung Galaxy 3 when I did, because that brought me plenty of luck………I\u2019m extra, extra, extra excited,\u201d said Pelar, who added she would be driving first to her grandmother who had prayed for her so successfully, to win.<\/p>\n
Prior to the Ford Escape drawing, MC Jerome Sawyer BTC Sr. Manager of Public Relations, with the Golden Knights and Demetrius the \u201cKaraoke King\u201d entertained the 300+ attendees in several crowd pleasing, prize winning games such as \u2018Name That Price\u2019, \u2018Let\u2019s Make A Deal\u2019 and musical chairs, to win phones, tablets, and BTC vouchers.<\/p>\n
Facebook fans who RSVP\u2019d to the event also got the chance to win exclusive prizes as BTC Star, Brandon Huyler, drew the names of fourteen lucky BTC Facebook fans who won BTC Gift Vouchers.<\/p>\n
Marlon Johnson, Sr. VP of Marketing & Communications noted that the car giveaway was a fitting cap to the company\u2019s busy holiday slate of events and promotions.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has been a fantastic season for us, all culminating with the event tonight with the giveaway of our brand new Ford Escape from Friendly Ford. This is a part of what BTC is about in the community. We love giving back to our loyal customers and we will continue to have events to give back to not only our customers but also the entire Bahamian community\u201d said Johnson.<\/p>\n
The ten finalists were: Griselda Hart, Derek Smith, Ambrose Adderley, Mariesha Rolle, Richard Ryan, Robert Cartwright, Rex Rolle, George Lowe, Patrick Sweeting and eventual winner, Pelar Sweeting. Each finalist received a meaningful consolation prize pack of varying BTC products including Samsung Galaxy Tablets and iPhones with one year free data service.<\/p>\n
