Auburn had one heck of a snowstorm in February! With the snow came a flurry of photos posted online sharing Auburn in the snow. Folks posted photos of their snow experience, from dogs playing in the snow to beautiful snowy sunsets.
Winter Mystery Box Giveaway
We love the snow, and loved seeing everyone’s photos! But we also know that after the first week, folks were ready for some warmth. So we partnered with some great local businesses to create a Winter Mystery Box. We gathered items that will help the winner stay warm and cozy for the next snowfall. (Let’s just hope that’s in 2020!)
We randomly selected our winner from those who posted their Auburn in snow photos. Our lucky winner was Sarah Wolf!
Congratulations Sarah!

Sarah has received and opened the mystery box. She messaged us to let us know what she thought after opening it, “OMG thank you so much!! The cup is perfect! The blanket is AMAZING! I am just blown away! A little something for everyone!”
“My husband took the [travel] mug to work today and wore the socks…as soon as we opened them! I gave my sister the scarf kit because she knits and it was great quality yarn!!” Sarah continued, “I felt like the items were chosen just for me!”
We were also excited to learn that Sarah has recently begun quilting, and looks forward to taking a class at Bigfoot Quilts.
