Eclipse Raffle

We’re offering some great items in our Eclipse Raffle - ski lift tickets, local farm & restaurant goodies, ways to get you moving, things for you to do, and yes, even a dozen pairs of eclipse glasses! Drawing for most items will be on the day of the eclipse - April 8. We’ll draw the winners for the glasses on April 1 so we can get those in the mail to the winner. All proceeds will benefit our ventilation and energy efficiency fund.

Many thanks to all the raffle donors.
