Kara Green Wins Playhouse Raffle
Lucky 8 month old Kara Green and her3 1/2 year old sister Anna will be enjoying the beautiful playhouse built by Wells and Wells Construction that was raffled off during the recent Kid's Building Fair Event on Saturday, May 15th. Kara, Anna and their parents were new visitors to the fair this year. They heard about the event on the TV news and said that it was easy to find us because we had the American Flag flying proudly off one of the large construction cranes that was part of the event. Raffle tickets were only $5 each even though the house was valued at close to $5000. Each of the girls had 3 tickets purchased for them by their parents - but it was one of Kara's tickets that won. The girls parents agreed that they were so happy to have attended the Kid's Building Fair and that they plan to bring the girls for many future visits.
