While the weather is still cold, for most it is hard to think about nice, leisurely days on the lake fishing but that is exactly what North Webster Community Center is doing. The NWCC is going to raffle off a 15-foot 2012 Alaskan Starcraft fishing boat with a 25 horsepower motor and trailer on Monday, May 25.

The boat package, valued at $8,565, was donated by Griffith’s Wawasee Marina. The boat raffle will help raise operational funds for The Center. Tickets cost $20 for one, $50 for three and $100 for six.

Only 600 tickets will be sold.

The drawing will be held at noon, Monday, May 25, at the North Webster Community Center. Participants do not have to be present to win. The winner will be notified to make arrangements to pick up the prize.

Tickets for this incredible boat raffle are available at NWCC, Albertson’s Sport Shop, Ye Olde Tackle Box, Loose Moose, Ace Hardware North Webster, Pie Eyed Petey’s, One Stop Bait Shop, Oswego Mini Mart, American Legion Post 253 and Track & Channel in Syracuse. Tickets will be sold until sold-out or May 22, whichever comes first.

• Saturday, Feb. 7- Outdoor Sportsman Show at American Legion Post 253
