Anya Nicoll from MWV Girl Scouts Troop 10615 wins BIG on The Magic Morning Show! – 03/13/2020

Mount Washington Valley Girl Scouts Troop 10615 joined Gino on the Magic Morning Show today to play a game called “Smart Cookie” and to talk about what they have been up to this past year. Troop Leader Melissa Florio and 16 year old Girl Scout Anya Nicoll from Freedom, NH came as representatives for Troop 10615 and had a great time with Gino.

Melissa and Anya let us know where all the “cookie money” goes when they sell cookies and explained that their Booth Sale Days are over for this year but each girl is still selling individually to anyone who is still interested. Melissa also explained that not every Girl Scout Troop you see out and about may necessarily be from this area, so to assure you are helping out your local Girl Scout Troops, digital sales is a very nice way to go. Here’s a link for Anya’s site -> https://digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/anya140626  Please place your order today and enjoy!

After the interview, Anya played a Pop Music Trivia Game called “Smart Cookie” in the style of “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire”, only instead of money each correct answer earned her a Box of Cookies Sold courtesy of Magic 104 and she did an AMAZING JOB! Click below to listen to both the interview and game to see how much she won!

Organizers posted the announcement saying it wouldn’t be appropriate to hold the event when the global priority is containing the new virus. They went on to say that all registration fees will be refunded as well as deposits for accommodations related to the event. Marketing Coordinator Aly Moore says that the Cynthia’s Challenge Board of Directors will be meeting this afternoon to review their options for alternative fundraising efforts and that funds raised will continue to go towards the purchase of a wheelchair accessible van for the Bunnell family.

Separately, the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services says the state now has it’s sixth official case of the virus. The individual is an adult male from Rockingham county who traveled to multiple countries in Europe.
