Turkey message bowls over Yvonne

A mysterious phone message blinked at Bell Post Hill’s Yvonne Moore when she arrived home on Tuesday afternoon.
“I’d just walked in from a hard day at bowls,” the 81-year-old window said.
“I looked down, saw I had a message and thought I’d better find out what it was about.”
Yvonne pressed ‘messages’. A voice told her to phone the Geelong Indy.
Yvonne dialled the number, waiting for her mystery caller to respond.
“Gobble gobble!” the voice on the end of the line finally shouted.
“You’ve won Talkin’ Turkey.”
Yvonne was stunned.
“That’s a thrill, it’s wonderful news,” she cried.
“Golly, I can’t believe it. I love turkey, it will be wonderful.”
Yvonne was one of five winners in week three of Geelong’s favourite Christmas game.
Talkin’ Turkey features five turkeys hidden in separate ads over five weeks. Entrants name the businesses to go into the draw for one of five succulent turkeys from A Cut Above Family Butcher.
Yvonne was glad she took up the Talkin’ Turkey challenge.
“It’s a good competition,” she said.
“The turkeys take a bit of finding but I thought, ‘blow it, I’ll have a go at this’.”
Talkin’ Turkey is in the Indy again today as part of the paper’s Five Weeks of Christmas promotion.
Entries, including the entrant’s name and phone number, can be emailed to indy@geelongindy.com.au, left in a mesage on Talkin’ Turkey hotline number 5249 6721 or lodged in person at the Indy on the first floor of 74-78 Moorabool St, Geelong.
