TRADING SPACES® COMES TO ROCHESTER
Resident Wins Design Consultation

(Williamsville, NY)  TLCs TRADING SPACES® visited Rochester, NY, this past Saturday to award the Grand Prize in the Tops Markets TRADING SPACES® Sweepstakes  where one lucky winner, Linda Williams, received expert design advice from TRADING SPACES® designer Christi Proctor.

Ms. Williams, who entered the contest at the North Winton Rd. Tops store, received advice on how to make her living room exciting and different. Christi Proctor met with her for several hours to review her needs, listen to her wish list and helped design a room that went beyond her expectations. Then, to help offset the costs of making the new dream room into reality, Tops Markets store manager, Dan VanAuker presented Ms. Williams with a $4,000 check and a gift basket of Procter & Gamble products.

The Tops Markets TRADING SPACES® Sweepstakes was a breakthrough consumer promotion that ran from August 15 through September 5, 2004. Tops customers entered the sweepstakes by purchasing Procter & Gamble products with their Tops BONUSCARD or by sending in a 3x 5 card with their name and address, without a purchase.
