How many groceries could you grab in five minutes?

The Hays Sunrise Rotary Club is sponsoring the 2nd Annual Grocery Grab on Wednesday, November 9 at 8 p.m. at the Dillons Store, 1902 Vine Street in Hays.

Proceeds from the event will be used to improve Ekey Park, located at 19th and Holmes St.

Each Grocery Grab entries cost $10 and are available for purchase at the Hays Area Chamber of Commerce, 2700 Vine Street, or by calling (785) 621-3333.

The lucky winner will be given five minutes to grab free groceries at the store.

Starting at the front of the store with an empty cart, the winner will race the clock to fill the basket. Once the basket is full, the winner may return to the front area for another cart – if he or she has time left. The public and the media are invited to attend.

The winner will be notified on Friday, Nov. 4 and the winner must be present on November 9 to win.

A few restrictions apply, including one must be 18 to participate and no pharmacy, alcohol or tobacco products are allowed to be part of the grab. There is also a limit of two items and one minute within the meat department.

Funds raised from this event will be used to support improvements such as playground equipment and other enhancements.
