The third and final KNIA Christmas Giveaway drawing took place Saturday afternoon at the new Indianola office, with three participants walking away with a cash prize in a reverse drawing.

Don Van Diepen took away the grand prize of $1,000, and he tells KNIA News he isn’t fully decided on what he plans to use the money for, but his snowblower is in need of repair and this came at a good time.

“This makes me feel very good, it’s something that never happens to me. It’s warming, not only to have won something but to have a good radio station representing Indianola.”

Janie Weeks won the $500 prize, and already has told her husband how she plans to spender her winnings: new countertops. Keleslie Rivas was the recipient of the $250 and plans to use it towards her trip to Fiji to escape this cold weather.
