MOHAWK VALLEY BLUES SOCIETY
As most of you know, a severe and dangerous thunderstorm forced us to shut down our MVBS picnic held on August 24, 2025. As a result we did not have a chance to hold the drawing to determine the winner of the 50-50 raffle. We do, however, still have our half of all tickets purchased and are prepared to select a winner. We will be doing a live video feed of the drawing on Thursday, 8/28 at 12:00 PM, and if you miss that, the winning number will be immediately posted on the MVBS Facebook page and the MVBS website at mvblues.org. The prize must be claimed by 5:00 p.m., Saturday, August 30. To claim the prize you MUST produce a photo of the other half of the ticket. If no one comes forth the MVBS will donate the proceeds of the drawing to a local food bank.
UPDATE: The live video of the drawing is available here.
And the winning ticket is:
