Our results of the Ace of Spades progressive raffle drawing this week: Jim Wideman was the name drawn and he selected envelope #16.

Make sure to purchase your tickets for this week's drawing. This will be the last drawing of the year. We will draw tickets until the Ace of Spades is revealed. Reminder you must purchase new tickets each week to be eligible for that week's drawing. Tickets are $2 and can be purchased at Swany's, Fulton Schools Central Office, or home high school events.
