Raffle tickets being sold for new truck

Those who haven’t yet purchased tickets for the pickup truck being raffled off by Kalispell schools will have an opportunity to do so at the Northwest Montana Fair.

Kalispell Public Schools will sell raffle tickets for a 2011 Toyota Tacoma at the end of the food court behind the Flathead County Sheriff’s Posse trailer.

Tickets are $10 each.

The pickup was donated by Gerrid Gandrud, owner of Kalispell Toyota. This is the second year in row the dealership has given the school district a vehicle. Last year’s raffled 2009 Toyota Scion raised $22,000 to support K-12 student enrichment, extracurricular activities and athletic programs.

This year’s winning ticket will be drawn Sept. 30 at halftime of the crosstown football game. Tickets will be sold at Montana Raceway Park this summer, at high school events next month and at the district administrative offices above the county library, 233 First Ave. E.
