Third prize: “A Day at the Beach” which includes a day at the private Willis Beach in Olga, a stand-up paddle board, a life vest, lunch, beach toys and s’more fixin’s to end the day! WOWZA!
Tickets will be sold at the museum and at the Chamber of Commerce. Only $25 gets you three chances to win one of these amazing prizes.
