Skippack Village Springfest Raffle

We need help selling raffle tickets at $5.00 per ticket to support the Skippack Historical Society. Each five dollars is a donation to our work in historic restoration and education. The prizes range in value mostly from about $75.00 right up to a $550.00 Dollhouse. There is lovely jewelry, collector dolls, gift certificates to Skippack Sportsabilia and even Greens Fees for 4 to play at the 18 hole Skippack Golf Course. Even if you don't want or need a particular item, I bet you know someone who would love to win that prize.

You can pick up brochures and tickets to sell at Skip's garage in Skippack, contact Abigail Ray at azaelaskys@aol.com., or you can buy tickets at our booth on the sidewalk in front of the "From The Past" store on the event days, May 10th and 11th from 10am to 5pm.
