The Buzz is Getting Louder!
Now that the premier of the new Queen Bee Half Marathon is only a few short weeks away, the buzz is building about all of the exciting features of this year’s event. When the Queen Bee Expo kicks off on Friday, October 10th, you can expect to see Ohio Valley Goodwill positioned front and center.
The organization’s team of worker bees will be busy helping race participants accessorize at the Queen Bee photo booth located on the second floor of the Horseshoe Casino for their best ” selfies” ever. Racers can also stop by the Goodwill exhibit booth to find out how to get a chance to win a luxurious spa pampering basket truly fit for a Queen.
On the Plaza level, Goodwill team members will also be swarming around donation barrels where this year’s generous “˜good bees’ can easily de-clutter and recycle responsibly at the same time. Each wonderful donor will receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win a bee-u-ti- ful spa basket. The lucky winner will be announced Saturday, October 11th at the post-race party.
As if there wasn’t enough excitement planned for the evening of Friday, October 10th, Goodwill is thrilled to announce that two of its favorite people are going to be featured as models in the Cincy Chic Fashion Show taking place on Fountain Square at 6:00 pm that evening. Ms. Stephanie Mitchell and Ms. Leslie McCurley will be wearing outfits provided by Goodwill’s Montgomery Boutique and sharing their story of success with interested audience members.
