Ryan Ott Construction is giving away a free roof to one lucky person or charity in the Merrill area. Radio stations, Magic 104.1 and WJMT have been asking listeners to write a letter by July 15 nominating a person or charity explaining why they need a new shingled roof.
A judging panel comprised of two or more judges selected by the sponsor shall review each eligible entry using the following judging criteria: Power/ persuasiveness of argument, creativity, interest, and quality of presentation.
Finalist will be selected by voting results during the 2014 Lincoln County Fair.
The winner of the contest will be announced on or about Aug. 3.
Ryan Ott said, “I see many folks that need a hand up in life and this is something I can do to make our world a better place to live.”
The winner will receive a shingled roof including material and labor. The prize is subject to a maximum retail value of $7,000.
The contest started on June 7 and many heartwarming letters have already been received.
