7 Ways To Spend $10,000 In Utica/Rome New York

With our May Dollars contest going on, and your chance to win $10,000 in the Rewards Club, it has me thinking this: How could I spend $10,000 across Central New York? Here's 7 ideas.

1) I'd Buy Over 10,000 Half Moons From Holland Farms

Think about it, Half Moons are truly Utica's biggest dessert. I would declare a certain day "Half Moon Day" and pass out all 10,000. The following day would be national diet day.

2) I'd Cover Genesee Street With Over 700 Tomato Pies From Napoli’s

Instead of painting a green line down the center of the city, I would make sure from start-end of Genesee Street would be covered in Tomato pie. That much tomato pie could feed the entire region.

3) I'd Buy Over 100 Kegs Of Utica Club From Marcy Discount Beverage

That’s a ton of beer. I'd throw the regions largest Saranac Thursday and use UC, and of course I'd probably buy a ton of Saranac too. We'd put on the largest concert right in downtown.

4) Ship Out Over 500 Jars Of Turkey Joints

I would try to ship out a jar of Turkey Joints to everyone in my family, and a ton of our closest listeners. Imagine the surprise when you would get home from work and spot a jar of Turkey Joints in your mailbox. It'd be like Christmas every day....until the jar ran out.

5) I'd Buy $10,000 Worth Of BBQ From Voss'

Let's throw Central New York's largest backyard BBQ! We could buy $10,000 worth of hot dogs, beef brisket, chili, burgers, and everything else we would need for a kick butt BBQ. Maybe we could combine number 3 and this one together for one heck of a time!

6) I Would Use $10,000 Towards Local Shelters, And Farms

I would use all $10,000 to help rescue CNY pets, and I would use the money to help out people who currently run farms for these animals. We would be known as the Pet Capital of America by helping out such amazing animals.

7) I'd Buy Our Fans Over 300 FrogFest Tickets

I would buy tickets for FrogFest for our biggest fans, hook them up with food and non-alcoholic drinks for the day as well. I'm pretty sure we would need to set up a special "Wheeler Zone" at FrogFest.
