Kincardine Legion Corner

The third round of Catch the Ace has begun and the first winner is Blake Devitt who took home $1,022. He chose Envelope No. 26 which contained the Nine of Spades. Since the Ace of Spades was not found, we roll into Week 2, where the estimated jackpot will be around $3,000. Be sure to get your tickets and don’t forget that on-line sales close Tuesdays at midnight. We will continue to go LIVE for each week's draw, Wednesdays at 4 p.m.

The Saturday Mega Meat Draw was a wonderful success! The band, Hwy 19, was great, and played some awesome tunes that got people up and dancing. Thank you to everyone who volunteered to help run the afternoon. Some great prizes were won, including tickets to our 2025 Legion New Year’s Eve Event, and tickets to Rock With Your Docs. One of the first raffle prizes chosen was Cookie’s blanket. Mike Dinsmore was the lucky winner of the big 50/50 draw and took home $915.50! Remember, Hwy 19 will be back at the Legion for our Canada Day Event!



Lots of great prizes to be won at the Legion’s Mega Meat Draw
