Brooks Coke
bottles have
arrived By CAROLYN CARY
Contributing Writer
The
Coke bottles are in, announced Brooks Town
Councilwoman Caroline Smith at last week's town
council meeting.
Commemorative
Coke bottles were planned, designed and ordered a
year ago as a means of obtaining additional
funding for the Recreation Department, and 2,000
bottles were ordered. The pre-purchase price was
$8 per bottle.
Due
to various conflicts within the Coca-Cola
Company, the four-month wait turned into 12
months.
If
you have not picked up your order yet, they can
be obtained the next two Saturday mornings at the
Brooks Recreation Department.
Those
who haven't ordered bottles may still be able to
get them through the Recreation Department, but
will have to wait until Nov. 1 to find out if any
are left. City officials report that some of the
bottles have arrived broken, and they won't know
how many are available for sale until they've
replaced all the broken ones.
After
Nov. 1, phone 770-461-2896 for information on
availability of additional bottles.
Smith
said a collectibles dealer has told her that the
bottles already have a collector's value of $50
per bottle.
