The Haywood Community Band, through the kind donation of Chainsaw artist John Arsenault, will be raffling off one of his bears to benefit the band's youth programs. Raffle tickets may be purchased at the WNC Visitors Center in Frog Level, and at Smoky Mountain Gifts and More on Soco Road in Maggie Valley where the bear may be viewed. The tickets are $3.00 each, or four for $10.00. The drawing will take place at the band's August 17 concert.
Here are the winners of the bear...Mike Rubin and his wife...Congratulations!:
