Blue Star Mothers OH59 is offering fairgoers the chance to win one of three prizes and help soldiers and veterans .
“ The prizes are awesome this year ,” said Sharon Burns , president of the group .
They will raffle off a $ 200 ALDI gift card ; one-night stay for two at the Coshocton Village Inn & Suites , which includes a king-size bed , Jacuzzi and $ 50 Main Street Station gift certificate ; and a $ 50 Pearl Valley Cheese gift certificate with cutting board and knife and a $ 20 Collins Meat Market gift certificate . Tickets are $ 1 for one or $ 5 for six .
“ Most members have them for sale now , and we will have them at our booth under the grandstand ,” Burns said . “ We are right in the middle beside the veterans service office . They have the front , and we have the back .”
Proceeds from the raffle will be used in a variety of ways .
“ We haven ’ t set a specific goal for this fundraiser ,” Burns said . “ It will go toward our general fund and helping veterans with whatever they need . We help a lot with the Honor Flights . We send boxes to those away on active duty and have more families getting us that information . If you aren ’ t in the states , you are not at home . It ’ s nice to get a touch of home sent to you .”
The group also can provide families with a Blue Star Banner to display when their loved one is serving in the armed forces . For more information on the banners or meetings , call Burns at 740-502-0169 . Meetings are held at 6:30 p . m . on the second Monday of the month at the Coshocton Church of the Nazarene AMC building , which is behind the church .
