The raffle will be on Saturday at the 114 N. McLean St. store during
the special downtown sidewalk sales. The Pink Shutter is open from 9
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Proceeds from the raffle will benefit the
Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, which supports the
hospital and its mission.
Tickets for the raffle are five for $1 and can be used toward any
of the baskets:
-
A little boy basket
with water guns, toy trucks, bubbles and more.
-
A little girl
basket with sidewalk chalk, bubbles, children's jewelry and
doll.
-
A movie night
basket with a gift certificate to the movie theater and
Guzzardo's, popcorn and candy.
-
A ladies' basket with spa items.
Additionally, the Pink Shutter is now using frequent buyer cards
for customers. Wallet-size cards will be stamped for every $10
spent, and when customers receive 10 stamps, they can use the card
as a $10 gift certificate.
The garage sale event this weekend will be throughout Logan
County and beyond. Downtown businesses have sidewalk sales and
vendors will be located in Lincoln's Postville Park.
