New Queen of Diamonds Days - Starting Feb 16th
Tickets for the Queen of Diamonds raffle are now available for sale on Tuesdays and Fridays from 6 pm to 7 pm as well as on Saturdays. Remember you do not have to be here to win. If you are not going to be here for the raffle there are a few changes you need to be aware of. At the time of purchase you will need to show your Legion card, you will also have to provide us with your phone number and the ticket you want drawn.
Part of the reason we are opening up ticket sales during the week is that on Feb 27th and Mar 6th the Liberty Hall will be closed due to private events. So we will only be able to occupy the Freedom Hall for the Queens raffle. There is a chance that we may hit our capacity on those evenings. Your safety is our first concern and we will not allow the hall to become so crowded that it is unsafe. If we hit capacity you will still be allowed in, one at a time, to purchase tickets but you will have to leave directly after your transaction.
There are still 14 cards on the board, and I believe, 3 of them are still money cards. So be sure to get your tickets this week so you don't miss your chance to win!
