The Sartell Lions Club will hold a meat-raffle fundraiser from 4-8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 16 at the Blue Line Sports Bar & Grill in Sartell.
Mike DeLuca, secretary-treasurer of the Lions, said the proceeds will be used for improvements of the walking-trail rails and green plantings at Lions Community Park across from Sartell City Hall, as well as for the Sartell Lions’ many sight programs that include Leader Dog and Canines Can Do. Funds raised will also help the Sartell Leo Lions, which is a high-school version of the Lions Club.
The meat for the event will be provided by many meat markets in the central Minnesota area, including shops in St. Joseph, Sauk Rapids, Waite Park and Bowlus.
Participants in the fundraiser will have their names drawn from a bag, and the winning prize will be a $50 gift card to one of the meat markets.
There will also be a grand prize from Coborn’s, a $125-worth of grocery products, including some meat from the Coborn’s stores in the central Minnesota area. People will not have to be present to win that particular prize.
