Sesquicentennial Raffle Tickets Available

Tickets for the Cameron County Sesquicentennial Rifle can now be purchased at a number of businesses in the county. “The rifle will be on display at the Keystone Rural Health Consortium on Second Street through the middle of March”, says Director Tina Johns Lorson. The .45 Henry was on display in Sinnemahoning during the recent coyote hunt. “It is hoped that the county’s gun will continue to be on display at businesses and during events throughout the year. The gun has depictions of the county engraved in gold on the barrel and on the wooden barrel. If a business is interested in selling the tickets or having the gun on display, they can contact the chamber”, Johns Lorson concluded. Right now tickets are available at Reid’s Hometown Emporium, Keystone Rural Health Consortium, Endeavor Media, Cameron County Chamber of Commerce & Artisan Center, Valley Meats, and Sinnemahoning Sportsman Club.

The raffle ticket is priced at $5.00 and is good for all four drawings, based on the Pennsylvania Lottery Big Four nightly drawing. The first drawing coincides with the actual date of the county’s birthday, March 29. The winner will receive a Tom-Tom GPS Unit. The gun will be given away on September 4. “It is not just the person who holds the winning ticket that can win. The seller of the winning ticket is also eligible for a cash reward. The chamber hopes individuals and organizations will consider selling the tickets and cashing in on the winning,” explains Johns Lorson.
