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 24th and 25th. 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
certificate for a 35lb bag of sunflower seeds, a wire birdfeeder, owl
figurines, and more. The Darke County Photo club donated a basket full
of supplies including a Cool Pix S33 camera, a 1 year membership to the
photo club, assorted photo frames, and much more for your photography
needs. The Old Thyme Gardeners basket contains a $25 chamber of
commerce gift certificate, 2 tickets to their fall tea and spring
workshop, and too many more gardening goodies to list. The Darke County
Canoe and Kayak Club donated a basket called “Game Day at Home or Away”
which includes a $25 Eikenberry’s certificate, a handmade afghan, 2
seat cushions, a collapsible cooler, and more. The Tecumseh Trail
Phoenix Committee donated a fabulous kitchen themed basket with a
Kitchen Aid food chopper, a Kitchen Aid two speed hand blender, a
corning cutting board, all kinds of mixes and canned goods from Bear’s
Mill, and many 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
6 for $5, and all proceeds go to the Friends of the Darke County Park
District. The drawing will be held at Prairie Days on Sunday, September
25th; 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!
