There’s just one catch: You have to buy a raffle ticket and there will be only one winner. Still, it’s a deal that’s too good to pass up. For more information, contact Toni Smith. Tickets are also available at the Chamber Office, Read Lumber and local banks in Farmerville. Buy a ticket. It’s worth a shot.
