The glow of holidays is making its way to the attic, along with the wreaths and Christmas lights.

But local resident Tommy Fairbanks probably has a little of his holiday cheer left after being the grand prize winner of the Southern Standard’s 12 Days of Christmas contest. As the overall winner, Fairbanks received a check from the Standard for $250.

“I’ve been reading the Standard since I was a teenager,” said Fairbanks, 70. “I haven’t thought of anything specific to do with the money. “I’m sure I’ll pay some bills with it.”

The contest offered a prize from 12 participating local retailers. One prize winner was drawn each day beginning Dec. 12 and ending Dec. 23.

To be eligible, participants had to register on the Standard website, www.southernstandard.com. A computer program randomly selected the winners.

The winners are as follows:

Leann Cagle – McMinnville Super Rama, $50 gift card

Glenda Hughes – Morrison Hardware, $50 gift card

Kathy Hipps – Trendy Trunk, gift basket
