With the local food bank running low on food, Marlies Soltys, owner of Inspire Studio in Minnedosa, has thought of a way to promote her business and benefit those in need.
For two weeks running up to Fun Fest, Soltys is encouraging people to bring in a non perishable food item. Each donation entitles them to pop one of the many balloons hanging in her store. Each balloon contains a prize, such as leather bracelets, bath salts and necklaces. Two balloons contain an Inspire Studio gift certificate. Soltys said, “It is our hope to run out of balloons sooner than later and of course fill the food bank cupboards, so that no one in our area needs to worry where their next meal is coming from.”
