Proceeds will be used to purchase wreaths to be placed at cemeteries in Winthrop and also will benefit the society and its mission to preserve the history of Winthrop.
The wreaths will be placed in Winthrop with the help of Alfred W. Maxwell Jr. American Legion Post 40. Each veteran’s name will be spoken aloud and individually thanked for their service and sacrifice, as the wreaths are placed in cemeteries around Winthrop.
The drawing will be held at noon on Saturday, Nov. 11, at the Winthrop History and Heritage Center on 107 Main St.
Tickets cost $10 each or $25 for three.
Tickets are available at the Winthrop History and Heritage Center. Hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursdays, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays until Christmas.
