Participants will receive one free ticket with each pig r oast dinner purchased for $8. The drawing will be held during the Childer concert intermission. To tie the evening’s theme together, the tickets are playing cards converted into tickets. The more cards entered for an item, the odds of winning incr ease; one card is $1, six cards are $5, 15 cards are $10, and the deck is $25. A SOAR Facebook page has also been established to keep Participants up to date.
