Area residents will not want to miss this fun and festive event. The reverse raffle grand prize is $1,000 cash. Tickets for the evening are $35 per person or $60 per couple. The ticket price includes a variety of Mexican buffet items, one drink ticket, and one ticket for the reverse raffle.

The first raffle will be drawn at 6:30 p.m. and continue until the last ticket remains. Other activities will include live auctions for additional re-entries into the reverse raffle and plenty of side games for additional prizes. There will be a raffle for specialty themed sombreros, with Men’s and Women’s packages, Downtown Van Wert, Lucky Lottery, and Fiesta Fun all providing additional chances to the $1,000 grand prize.
