CREATING LASTING MEMORIES
The IICA Wheel of Fortune game was a fun and effective opportunity to rewarded patrons at the 2010 Denbigh Agricultural and Industrial show for their knowledge of the Institute's work in the island. It worked so well, that patrons camped out at the booth studying our brochures and posters in preparation for each opening of the game. Well many left with prize in hand and a lasting memory of IICA. |
