Corvette Raffle Party on Saturday, October 21st -- Please encourage everyone you know to stop by the Mason Area Chamber of Commerce office and buy a Corvette Raffle ticket this week. A few more ticket sales will go a long way toward making this year’s raffle a success. Proceeds partially fund our Thursday Night Live concerts, Fourth of July parade, Holiday parade and Christmas Tree Lighting, banners, flowerpots, community identity advertising, visitors’ center information, and other “Hometown U.S.A.” projects. Our office is open from 9 to 3, Monday through Friday. Don’t forget to bring your own ticket and enjoy the big party on Saturday, October 21 at the Fairgrounds with a steak dinner, refreshments, and much more.
