Lucky 'Golden Ticket' Finders Enjoy Island Prizes

Five Golden Tickets were found by fudge purchasers during the Mackinac Island Fudge Festival August 24 through August 26, each good for a 2008 two-night stay for four, ferry tickets, carriage tours, and other gifts. Michigan Sugar Queen Samantha Bishop of Avoca presented the packages. Below: Linda Riegle of Coleman found the Golden Ticket at Ryba's Fudge.
