Join the firefighters' annual turkey raffle

The North Aurora Firefighters Association will hold its annual turkey raffle from 6 p.m. to midnight Friday, Nov. 16, and Saturday, Nov. 17. The raffle will be held in the apparatus storage and maintenance building just north of Station No. 1 on Monroe Street.

Firefighters will raffle off turkeys, hams, steaks and pork chops both evenings. Food and beverages will be available for purchase throughout the night with free pop for designated drivers. There will be entertainment with a DJ providing music both nights.

There will be a grand prize cash drawing Saturday night, as well as progressive cash drawings on both Friday and Saturday. Tickets for the grand prize drawing are $10 each and are being sold in advance by any of the North Aurora firefighters or at the fire station.

All proceeds from this event will go back into the community by donating to organizations and events such as Operation Christmas, the North Aurora Pet Parade, North Aurora Mothers Club, North Aurora Lions Club, North Aurora Baseball Association, and public education and scholarship programs.

North Aurora residents are not the only ones who are invited to enjoy the festivities, as this event is open to everyone in the area. This is an opportunity to gather with family, friends and neighbors while taking part in a tradition of more than 50 years.
