Manicure Helps Woman Nail $1,000

For the price of a manicure, Aileen Emery of Lake Forest won $1,000.  The Lake Forest resident entered her name in a Chamber of Commerce raffle after getting her nails done at Phoenix Nail & Spa last month, but she forgot about the drawing by the time the nail polish had dried. "I literally filled it out and forgot all about it until Joanna called me to say I had won," said Ms. Emery, referring to Lake Forest/Lake Bluff Chamber Executive Director Joanna Rolek. The Chamber is conducting two more "Shopping Zone" raffles to encourage people to keep shopping at downtown stores during the Western Avenue reconstruction project. All you have to do is fill out a raffle form at participating businesses on Western between Laurel and Westminster. There's no minimum purchase required, and the loot is $1,000 in Lake Forest coupons. The Chamber is holding two more drawings--the next one is on July 30 at the season's final Concert on the Green, and the last drawing will take place at the end of October, when the north section of the rehab is expected to be completed.
