Chase chasing prize money

It worked for Lumby, now another B.C. Interior community is taking a run at winning a Kraft contest.

Lumby was awarded the Kraft Hockeyville 2016 title earlier this year and now Chase is in the running for the Kraft Heinz Project Play.

Volunteers of the Chase and District Skate Park Society have been working at full tilt since Kraft Heinz Project Play and partners TSN and RDS announced the four finalists in their Canada-wide contest that seeks to revitalize community spaces.

The Chase Skate Park made it as a top four finalist out of a record 820 nominations across the country. The grand prize is $250,000 towards a recreational upgrade, which would make the small Shuswap community's longtime skate park project a reality.

The campaign to earn votes and get the word out has begun.

Voting begins on Monday July 25 at 9 a.m. and goes until July 26 at 8:59 a.m. at kraftheinzprojectplay.com.
