Kincardine Legion Corner

Mark McElroy of Kincardine won $994 in this week’s Catch the Ace draw. He chose Envelope No. 18 which contained the Five of Spades. So, the Ace of Spades remains hidden and we move into Week 6. Don’t forget we go live with the draw each Wednesday at 4 p.m., so come down to the Legion clubroom and join the fun. This is a good spot to remind everyone that anyone from the public can come to the Legion, meet some friends for food and refreshments, attend any of our many events and fund-raisers, play billiards or shuffleboard, and so much more. While we love welcoming new members, membership is not required to drop by the Legion for some fun. Drop in sometime and say hi!

The Mega Meat Draw was a great success, Saturday afternoon. We had fantastic music from TNT Boom, and some delicious food by Braden of The Tusk Express Kitchen, assisted by Lisa and Jon Shaw. Thanks to everyone for attending and to those who donated raffle prizes. Definitely some people went home happy with Cookie’s blankets in their arms. We ended up with 16 meat prizes, and they were all won by 16 different people, with no double-dippers at all. The 50/50 draw was won by Helen Furnivall who took home $696. Congratulations, Helen!
