Essex bought one of two “opposites attract” winning buttons randomly dispersed among buttons offered for sale around town. Another button may still be out there to be claimed for a $100 prize of gift certificates. There also is a prize for the person who has the most winter carnival buttons and a button with a number written on the back.-Photo by Michael Armstrong, Homer News
