The grand prize was $500.00 for the People’s Choice, won by Team Wrecked: Angela Wetherington!
The successful event had over 450 people in attendance! It was held at the new Ierna’s Heating & Cooling headquarters: 18843 US Hwy 41 North in Lutz near the old brick school house. “We are so pleased with the response from the community for our first event! Everyone seemed to have a fantastic time and we hope to make next year’s event even better,” said Charlene Ierna, Vice President of Ierna’s Heating & Cooling. True to form, Ierna’s is giving back to the local area; proceeds from this event will benefit a local family in need of a heating and cooling system for their home. While the amount raised won’t fully cover a new system for a family, Ierna’s plans to donate the balance of the system to stand by their promise. For information on how to apply for the heating and cooling system for your home, please e-mail: LoranT@IernaAir.com. The family chosen will be announced on the Ierna’s Heating & Cooling Facebook page March 15, 2012.
