That was the reaction of Macon’s Brian McLaughlin after he won the grand prize of 16 porterhouse steaks, 16 lbs of hamburger, a $100 gift card, and other prizes from the Beef Month Giveaway. We’d also like to congratulate Donna Turner of Paris for winning the second place prize of 12 sirloin steaks, eight lbs of hamburger, a $100 gift card and other prizes.
