Unfortunately we can’t turn the fountains into chocolate milk.” All of the finalists were awarded certificates and pins; the runner-up, Chelsea Graham, received a $50 gift certificate, and the winner, Morgan Brooks, received a $100 gift certificate. The “If I were mayor, I would’ is part of Georgia Cities Week and Make Thomaston Shine activities.
