General Motors is on the brink of releasing for sale its new, sporty, small car, the Chevrolet Cruze, and the very first one made for retail sale could end up in the Mid-Ohio Valley.
The Marietta Times has teamed up with its sister paper, The Tribune Chronicle in Warren and Pioneer Chevrolet in Marietta, to offer our readers a chance to win this historic car.
In today's newspaper, Pioneer Chevrolet has published an entry blank within its advertisement that can be filled out and deposited at the dealership for a chance to win the new Cruze. Entries must be on official entry forms published in the newspaper, but no purchase is necessary. If you want a free entry from, stop by the newspaper during business hours and request a Cruze giveaway entry form.
The entries must be deposited at Pioneer Chevrolet between now and Oct. 11.
The drawing to determine the winner will be on Oct. 15.
At that time, only the winning community will be announced. Currently, 19 newspaper markets are participating in the chance to win the car. The newspaper in the winning community will then notify the lucky winner.
The following small to medium markets across the country will participate in the giveaway: Warren, Lisbon, Tiffin, Salem, East Liverpool, Marietta, Martins Ferry and Steubenville in Ohio; Marquette, Alpena and Iron Mountain in Michigan; Dunkirk in New York; Altoona, Warren and Lewistown in Pennsylvania; Marshalltown and Fort Dodge in Iowa; Cape Coral in Florida; Parkersburg, Martinsburg, Weirton and Wheeling in West Virginia.
The Times has sister newspapers in all of those markets.
"We are excited to offer our readers a chance to win this beautiful automobile," Times publisher/editor Jennifer Houtman said. "We thank Pioneer Chevrolet for helping us with this special giveaway."
