MOSSBANK — Spring is in the air, and that signals the annual community lottery. The Mossbank and District Recreation Board’s yearly fundraiser is the Dare to Dream Lotto. This will mark the 19th consecutive year for the event.
Just like spring cleaning, medical checkups and any other events that roll around after Easter, this event is automatically added to many people’s calendars. May 13 is when the phones were finally hooked up, so the calls that had been attempting to connect could finally go through. The kickoff has one person carrying a cellphone that interrupts every aspect of that person’s life as they do their bit for the project.
In the words of Gwen Kowalsky, current phone carrier, one customer stated “He was going to quit calling if it wasn’t answered this time,” so the recreation board is happy to have things rolling along smoothly now.
There are only 3,300 tickets available at the price of $60 each, three for $150 or 10 for $400, with the draw taking place at the community hall on June 7.
Prizes like the 2025 Kawasaki side-by-side and the 2025 Kawasaki ATV, the 2024 Buick Envision Essence, the 2024 Gator, 2024 Sub Compact Utility Tractor and 2024 Rotary Tiller or the 2025 CASE IH Farmall Tractor are sure to entice, but if they don’t, the $60,000 cash should possibly do it.
Also available is a 50/50 draw.
To date, the recreation board has infused cash into such things as the community hall, swimming pool, ball diamonds, spray park, campgrounds and in conjunction with other funds, the walking path, all found inside town limits.
The phone blitz runs on June 4, 5 and 6, winding up with the grand prize draw on June 7 at noon. Funds raised this year will go toward the ice plant at the Mossbank rink.
