The young men are currently selling tickets for a 4 gallon-2 basket Cajun Fryer donated by Ted & Michelle Wristen at Haslam Trailers and Buildings in Joaquin. Tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20. Drawing is March 1. Several other events planned are a Bingo-Texas Hold’em Poker Tournament, and building and selling washer boards. They also need items for these events.
