For 2023 we expanded our prize offerings to include one Grand Prize and individual regional prizes for each province or state of Canada. This year, we sourced over 5,400 votes for 97 stores.
Grand Prize – Canada: Quilts By The Bay (Digby, NS)
With 1677 votes in the 2023 contest, Quilts By The Bay really knocked it out of the water (or bay, in this case).
Customers overwhelmingly mentioned their fun Friday Night Frenzy events and the strong worldwide community that they have created.
