AÂ Mesa youngster was keeping his fingers crossed this weekend as voting concluded on a chance to be a kind of advisor for the most famous name in raisins.
Sun-Maid Growers of California â which produces the iconic raisin brand â picked 10-year-old Allen Bishop to be among 15 finalists for five seats on a board that will help shape the companyâs future business decisions.
Noting it encourages everyone to âImagine That,â Sun-Maid put out a call to children ages 6-12 and got 1,300 applications.
It narrowed them down to 15 finalists to five kid seats on Sun-Maidâs Board of Imagination.Â
They liked what Allen had to say in his application: âI am creative and have a lot of ideas. I am always trying out new science projects and exploring the outdoors with my siblings.â
