The Wheeling Vintage Raceboat Regatta Basket Raffle was a huge success in 2007 and will return for the 2008 Regatta. The raffle is comprised of items donated by local businesses and individuals. Each basket is organized around a theme: last year's baskets included themes of WVU and the Steelers (both baskets included tickets to a game!), beauty care, fishing, cleaning supplies, dogs, cats and many more.
Our raffle is a "Chinese raffle" and it is very simple to enter! Twenty tickets are purchased for $5.00, and you are free to choose to put however many tickets you would like toward winning any or all of the baskets by placing a ticket or tickets into a container near that basket. The winners are chosen on Sunday afternoon at the Regatta, and the winner does not need to be present to win.
Watch here for announcements about the themes for our 2008 basket raffle!
