Look inside for Holiday Hide & Seek contest

A Christmas mouse has been scurrying all over town to see what local businesses have to offer during the holiday season. In this Christmas version of hide-and-seek, the Enterprise needs some help from the community identifying where the mouse has been. Flip to page 12 of this week's print edition for 21 photos of the mouse in 21 different businesses. Each participating business has an ad with the Holiday Hide & Seek logo somewhere in the newspaper. Your job is to match each photo with one of the businesses. Turn in the answer form to the Enterprise at 130 N. Interocean Ave., mail to P.O. Box 297, Holyoke, CO 80734, or email to editor@jpipapers.com. The deadline is Thursday, Dec. 10. The individual who identifies the most businesses correctly will receive a $75 cash prize. In the case of a tie, the Enterprise staff will draw a winner. The contest is open to everyone except Enterprise employees.
