Christmas has come early for a city visitor after they won Visit Lincolnshire’s Christmas Elf Competition – a fun challenge that got residents and visitors talking about the best bits of the county!A special presentation took place just in time for Christmas on Friday 17th December where the winner, Sue Matejtschuk from Hertfordshire (centre) and her son (left), collected their prize from Matthew Stevenson (right) from Springbok Computers who kindly sponsored the Nintendo Wii as the competition’s prize.
The competition supported Visit Lincolnshire and Lincoln Business Improvement Group’s first fully coordinated Christmas marketing campaign for the City, it unites all sectors of the local visitor economy including events, retail, food and drink, attractions and accommodation with the aim of boosting business over the festive season.
Upon receiving the news that she had won the prize Sue Matejtschuk said, “I was browsing the Visit Lincolnshire website to find out more after we heard the bad news that the Lincoln Christmas Market had been cancelled by the weather. I spotted the competition and thought, why not?”
“It was easy to suggest lots of great things to do in Lincoln, having both children studying in Lincoln means we often visit. It's a wonderful setting, the old with the new, something for everyone. Our first visit was when our son was looking for a place to study, and the University laid on a guided coach tour for parents. We now also receive the Taste of Lincolnshire magazine and have stayed in some lovely guest houses.”
“To receive my prize in time for Christmas will be perfect timing, we'll all be together and able to play the games as a family, and if I can find fitness type game for it there'll be no excuse for putting on lots of weight over the festive season!”
