BAY CITY, Mich. — A man has won prizes worth nearly $2,000 after being the only person to enter a contest to celebrate a Michigan city’s 150th anniversary.

MLive reports Taylor Langstaff had to do 25 activities in the Bay City area and stamp them off on a “passport” to win the prizes.

The activities included seeing a show at The State Theatre, enjoying a beer at Tri-City Brewing Co., and going on a holiday tour of homes in Bay City’s Historic District.

Langstaff’s prizes included restaurant gift certificates, a yearlong membership to the Bay Area Family Y, Bay City-branded T-shirts and a four-person pass to sail aboard the Appledore IV tall ship.

Because Langstaff was the only entrant, he also received second through 10th place winner prizes.

Bay City is 115 miles northwest of Detroit.
