Raffle proceeds will be used for improvements on the fair grounds and for capital equipment. This year proceeds will go toward the expansion and improvement of the Cattlemen’s Area between the arena and the barns, with additional hardscape, cooking facilities, and sun shelter. It will result in an eating, dancing, and socializing area for all to enjoy all year round.

Tickets will be distributed by Friends of the Fair members to various county organizations. Friends of the Fair members will collect tickets and money from these organizations weekly, until Wednesday May 13th. Only 3500 tickets will be sold.

Tickets will be available at the fair at the Friends of the Fair booth up until one hour before the final $10,000 drawing on Sunday night. Ticket cost is $25.00 each or 5 for $100.00.

A drawing will take place each night at 7:00 p.m. The winner will have one hour in which to claim the prize. Prizes on Thursday, Friday and Saturday will be $1,000.00. Winner needs to be present. The grand of $10,000 will be drawn on Sunday night. Winner need not be present.

Organizations selling tickets will be reimbursed $5.00 for each ticket sold, after the final drawing and final accounting.

Raffle tickets are not tax deductible.
