Kincardine Legion Corner

Alisha Stafford won $4,979 in the Catch the Ace draw. She chose Envelope No. 39 which revealed the Four of Diamonds. Since the Ace was not found, the jackpot will continue to grow. Now that we are well into six figures, we expect interest to swell each week. So be sure to get your tickets for next week, and let’s try to push this jackpot toward $110,000!

At the Saturday Meat Draw, Mary Farrell and Joe Haist were both double-dippers! Al Bowers won the 50/50 draw and took home $184.50. Congratulations to all the winners!

A few weeks ago, we congratulated our Public Speaking Contest winners, Janna Gabor and Everlie Waite. Last weekend, they competed in the Legion Zone competition in Clinton. Both girls placed second in their respective age groups, which is amazing! Congratulations to you both! Branch 183 thanks Janna and Everlie, and their families, for making the trip to Clinton and for representing our Branch so well.

With more snow today, let’s look forward to some nice weather happenings. Our next Mega Meat Draw is set for Saturday, May 3. Highway 19 will be performing, and we will, of course, have some good food available. We will have great raffles during the day, and we are excited to share that we will have some Rock With Your Docs tickets to raffle off as well. So save the date!
