Darke County Parks
Friends of the
Parks Basket Raffle
The Friends of the Darke County Park District are once again running
their annual basket raffle this summer to culminate at Prairie Days on
September 26th and 27th. Local clubs donated baskets full of goodies to
raise money for the Friends of the Parks. Baskets include one from the
Darke County Birders, containing a bird house feeder, a Lee Cable
collector’s plate, a hand carved cardinal, and more.
The Darke County Photo club donated a basket full of supplies including
a Cannon Power Shot camera, a camera bag, a flexible tripod, and much
more for you photography needs. The Old Thyme Gardeners basket contains
two great gardening reference books, gardening gloves, a $20 gift
certificate to Hannah’s Garden Center, and too many more things to
list. The Darke County Canoe and Kayak Club donated a basket that any
tea aficionado would love. This basket includes a Ginger Lily tea pot,
kitchen towels, assorted teas, and more. The Tecumseh Trail Phonex
Committee donated a fabulous kitchen themed basket with a Kitchen Aid
food chopper, a Kitchen Aid two speed hand blender, a dish drainer, and
more handy tools around the kitchen.
All of the baskets are on display at the Nature Center at Shawnee
Prairie (4267 St. Rt. 502 West,) and tickets are available for purchase
Monday through Saturday, from 9:00am to 5:00pm. Tickets are $1 each or

District. The drawing will be held at Prairie Days on Sunday, September
27th; you do not need to be present to win. Help support the Friends of
the Darke County Parks, and win an awesome basket full of
goodies!
