Gabe Bowling, courtesy clerk at the Food City in Louisa, Kentucky, recently won the Kentucky Best Bagger competition, receiving a $250 cash prize along with an all-expenses paid trip in February to Las Vegas, where he will compete for the national title during The NGA Show.

An 18-year-old senior at Lawerence County High School, Bowling joined the Food City team in June. He was one of 13 contestants in the contest, which took place during October in Hazard, Kentucky.

“NGA hosts a premier event featuring only the most talented baggers throughout the country,” said Steven C. Smith, Food City president and CEO. “It’s a tremendous honor to qualify as a participant.”
