Tickets are on sale for Sterling Main Street’s annual 50/50 raffle. This is the 3rd year for the raffle, which kicked off sales during Main Street’s May 22nd car show. Tickets will be on sale through Saturday, July 23, 2016. The winner will be drawn that evening during Main Street Music Fest at the Grandon Civic Center, just before the final band takes the stage.
“The jackpot doubled from year one to year two,” said Janna Groharing, Executive Director of Sterling Main Street. “We’d love to see it double again this year, or more, of course.”
Funds raised by the raffle help support the activities and events Sterling Main Street puts on throughout the year. “The bigger the pot, the more we are able to give back to the community in growing events like Seasonal Sights & Sounds,” continued Groharing.
Raffle tickets are $5 each or five for $20. They will be available through Saturday, July 23, at the Sterling Main Street office, 318 First Avenue, Sterling, IL, as well as at Air Play Sports, Showplace Antiques, Grummert’s Hardware, and SBM.
Main Street volunteers will also be at select Movies at Grandon, Sterling Municipal Band Concerts, and the Twin City Farmers’ Market with tickets for sale.
