Island Escape Raffle

The Grand Prize Winner will receive a trip for two on a private plane from Warwick to Martha's Vineyard. Our pilot will fly you on a look around before landing on a grass strip right next to a public beach. Enjoy the beach in the pavilion, then call a limo service from their cell to be picked up for the short drive into Edgartown. Once there, enjoy the shopping and sights and a dinner for two at one of three restaurants. After dinner the limo service will take you back to the Martha's Vineyard airport for a return flight to Warwick. Should be a great day for the lucky winner.

There are two cash prizes to be drawn as well. Second prize is $300.00 and third is $200.00. The winning tickets will be drawn at the June 30th 30 concert at Independence Park. Hurry though, ticket sales are limited to 100.
