This year’s antique and basket raffles feature a trio of fine antique
pieces and 55 overstuffed baskets generously donated by local businesses,
hospital departments and community members. A primitive, two-drawer maple
baker’s table purchased from Heritage House at the Apple Wagon Antique Mall is
one of three pieces to be featured as part of the Antique Raffle at this
year’s event. Community members can also purchase raffle tickets for a
one-drawer pine wash stand purchased from Laird’s Petals & Past Tymes and a
mahogany drop-leaf table with harp sides purchased from Lin-Bob Antiques.
    The antiques will be featured in the window display of Fitze’s Department
Store throughout September. Antique Raffle tickets are $1 each (six for $5)
