Live Auction and Raffle Items
2007's Prairie Beach will feature both a raffle and a live auction. Guests can have fun vying to be the top bidder on premium items that will be offered in a live auction or can try their luck putting down tickets for that special raffle item!
Raffle and auction items will be on display in the shelterhouse at Lions Park during Prairie Beach's opening events, then will be awarded during the reunion's afternoon and evening events on Saturday. There will be three blocks of raffle items followed by a live auction. Check the schedule of events page on this site for the specific times.
