Have you called your local Lion yet? We need to know about some of those desirable donations as soon as possible so we can get the word out.
You’ve probably heard about some of the raffle prizes: the Ridgeway grandfather clock, donated by Eugene “Tic-Toc” Tucker, now on display at the Rappahannock National Bank; or the Savage 112FV rifle, donated by Hilltop Sport and Pawn Shop; or the 20 gauge double-barrel Ithaca shotgun donated by Fanning Baumgardner.
And there’s a $100 cash prize and one for $50 too. If your $1 raffle ticket wins, you don’t even have to be there to get the prize.
However, if you’re not at the Washington fire hall on Saturday, May 9, starting at 6 p.m., you’ll be missing one of the best free shows in the county. Lion Bill Payne keeps the auction moving with fun and excitement like the super pros always do.
Inside the hall you’ll see a bonanza of bargains in boxes, displayed on tables everywhere. You’ll be sometimes fascinated to hear what some of your surplus items are actually worth to the folks who need them.
Outside, under the big tent is all the bulkier stuff like farm equipment, tillers, lawnmowers, gas engine items, heavy furniture and an occasional antique. If you’re alert and a little lucky you can take home something you’ve been looking for but feared you couldn’t afford.
What’s the purpose of all this annual effort? The Rappahannock Lions Club has increased its budget to support local services to a total of $8,000 for 1992. Some of you have benefitted from Lions Club assistance or know of friends who have.
