The drive will start with the annual Lincoln IGA food raffle.
Tickets will be available at both Scully Park and at the children's
tent at Latham Park. The price of a ticket to win $500 worth of IGA
groceries is only $1, or six tickets for $5. At both parks,
individuals as well as businesses will also be able to reserve their
spots at this year's big fundraiser for the United Way, scheduled
for Oct. 15.
Called "Tailgating for our Community," the event is planned as a
fun night of entertainment at the Lincoln Banquet Center, 201
Madigan Drive. Patrons will be able to enjoy stadium-style food and
DJ music as well as other entertainment. There will be a 50-50
drawing, live and silent auctions, and much more. A cash bar will
also be available. The event will begin at 6 p.m.
The price of an individual ticket is $25, which includes
admission, free food and a "Tailgating" T-shirt.
