HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Sarah Diamond with Hospice and Homecare of Reno County updated Hutch Post Tuesday on one of the big items for the August 19th Festival of Remembrance at Prairie Dunes.
"We will have an opportunity to win a car that's been donated by Mel Hambleton Ford in Wichita," Diamond said. "This is actually Mel Hambleton's 12th year of donating a car for this event. We have some more details. We will have a 2019 Ford Fusion. Some of these cars are really hard to find right now. It would make a really great first car or for a college student or just someone that's looking for a commuter car. It gets 21 miles to the gallon in the city and 31 on the highway. Tickets can be purchased for $25 each for a chance to win. We do have some packages available, so the more tickets you buy, the cheaper they become."
The opportunity for the car will be separate from the opportunity available at the event that night.
"The other raffle items will be the $1000 cash, the $500 gift card to Dillons and the $500 to Jackson Meat."
Tickets to the event itself are also available for $85 or a full table for $1,200. The silent and live auction items will become available to bid on August 15. You can also just donate online if you aren't able to attend.
