Tickets for the second annual Pagosa Springs Adventure Raffle will be on sale soon. First pick for tickets will be made available at the Car Show, which will be held June 14 and 15.
Tickets will then be on sale at the Visitor Center, events until September and from Chamber board members. Tickets will also be available online throughout the summer once the site has been approved by the state of Colorado. The drawing for this cache will be held on Sept. 21 at 7 p.m. at the Bands and Brews ColorFest event.
This mega prize package is built to highlight the wonderful outdoor activities that are abundant in and around Pagosa Springs during all four seasons. This year, the package includes the following major items: a 2019 RZR 900 EPS Trail ATV with a trailer to haul the vehicle, a TREK Townie Go! E-Bike, a Tomcat SOLO Aire inflatable kayak with paddle, a $1,000 sporting goods shopping spree and more. These items are the latest and greatest in their area of adventure with the RZR being specifically ordered so as to meet the trail size here in Archuleta County.
This prize package would not be possible without the assistance of many of our wonderful sporting and outdoor adventure stores. Any proceeds from the package will benefit the continuation of Chamber events, potential tourism-related infrastructure or community amenities, and future hospitality/workforce training.
Last year’s winner, Cobe VonGunten and family, from Texas, were thrilled to have been the recipients of the prize package. In town and fishing in Town Park when their ticket was called, they rushed over to the athletic field with smiles as big as the San Juan River and in shock that they had actually won. This year it could be you that wins this fabulous prize package. You do not need to be present to win.
Tickets are only one for $5, three for $10 and seven for $20. Stop by the booth at this year’s Car Show and check out the RZR. Its sporty blue markings will certainly catch your eye.
