Members from both companies have dedicated long hours in preparation for the upcoming raffle, and there are several important updates. Many of these updates address questions received recently.

The main meal at the pavilion will include BBQ chicken leg quarters, pulled pork, baked beans, and applesauce. Meal tickets will be provided at registration.

Hamburgers and hot dogs have been moved to a new location under the tent. No ticket is needed for these items, and they will not be available at the pavilion.

All tents must be brought in by attendees at the time of registration. It is not possible to allow tents to be set up prior to registration and then return. This procedure remains unchanged from previous years.

Due to the high level of activity during the event, social media updates may be limited. Official winning numbers will be held at the main tent and posted on Sunday. Posts showing number boards are not official. Organizers will make every effort to post winning numbers on Sunday, but a specific time cannot be guaranteed.

Parking procedures remain the same as previously stated. Those requesting handicap parking must present the appropriate card or identification, and fire police will provide guidance as needed.

Registration requires a driver’s license. If a ticket needs to be transferred to another individual, a form will be available at the registration tent.

Tickets will be available for purchase at registration for $60.00, with no change in price.

Organizers are committed to maintaining a positive experience for all attendees. Comments from last year have been reviewed, and efforts have been made to develop new plans and layouts to accommodate growth. Disruptive behavior or negative remarks directed at staff will not be tolerated. Every effort is made to satisfy attendee needs while operating an event staffed by volunteers. The event is scheduled for Saturday.
