Our favorite hot beverage contest is over and our winner will soon be enjoying a steamy drink on us!
Last month, we asked readers where they like to grab a hot beverage in town. We received many responses, including Dunkin' Donuts, Boston King Coffee and Starbucks. We asked a random Patch editor not affiliated with Woburn Patch to look at our entries and choose a winner. And the winner is Christine! She will receive a $10 gift certificate to Starbucks, so she can enjoy her favorite drink—the bold coffee. Christine, please contact Local Editor Danielle Masterson via e-mail or Facebook and let her know how to get in touch with you. Also, we have winners from our Facebook contest who have not picked up their prizes yet. They are waiting for you, so please contact the editor!
