The Dawson County Chamber of Commerce is gearing up for one of its most anticipated events of the year. Tickets are available for the reverse raffle that will be at 7 p.m. Aug. 29.

The event will be held at The Clubhouse at Lake Sconti in Big Canoe. Purchasing one ticket allows two people to enter the event.

Peter Hill, chairman of the chamber's board of directors, encourages everyone to get their tickets early.

"We're real excited about the new venue this year. It's been a great event for us in the past. It's just going to be a good time," he said. "We look forward to it and we think everybody has a great time."

Only 300 tickets at $100 each will be sold for this year's raffle drawing party, which gives ticket holders the chance to win $10,000 cash.

Every 25th number drawn will win a prize equal or more valuable than the ticket price. You do not have to be present to win. Tickets include raffle drawing, prizes and a light buffet.

A cash bar will be available.

Tickets are available at the chamber and through the chamber's board of directors and ambassador volunteers.

The chamber accepts all major credit cards, cash and checks.

Proceeds from the raffle support many chamber initiatives throughout the year.
