Tryon Youth Center has had to delay the 2010 raffle drawing until August 28. Because the minimum number of tickets has not been sold, the car award will not be an option. The winner of the raffle will receive $25,000.

In the past, nine winners, James Nix, Barbara Lohman, Phillip Feagan, Diane Guffey, James Bond, Mack Henson, Chris Johnson, Sam White and Archie Pearson, have chosen the car and 12 have taken the cash prize.

This is the second and last delay, so in order to make your donation visit Caro-Mi Dining Room, Frog and Swan, Natures Storehouse, TJs Caf, Town and Country Realtors, Tryon Daily Bulletin, Tryon Federal Bank (Tryon and Columbus branches) and Tryon Pharmacy or contact Franklin McKaig at 828-817-4303, 828-817-1459 or mckaig@charter.net.

The public is invited to the Tryon Youth Center, located at 2969 Highway 176 N. in Tryon, on Saturday, August 28 at 2 p.m. for the auditing of tickets and the drawing.
