Congratulations to Patty Jones, the winner of the Kingsport Town Center Treasure Trackers Medallion Hunt.  During Kingsport’s Fun Fest, we gave out clues on News Channel 11 Morning Edition.  Patty and a pack of others from Kingsport searched for the medallions and, if they found them, one $100 and a 1 in 6 shot at $5000.

Saturday night at the Fun Fest Concert, I got to be on the stage with Patty, the 5 other finalists, and Steve Mann from WTFM Radio.  Patty chose the right box, so she won the $5000 grand prize.

She heard the clue on WTFM and told Steve Mann that she just complete the toughest 3 years of her life. 

Looks to me like Patty’s life is turning around for the better.

How will she spend the money?  She told Steve and me she plans on taking a trip to New York City with her mom.
