If you’re looking for an excellent and delicious way to beat the summer heat, look no further than the Washita County Free Fair on August 23-24! From 5:00 to 9:00 p.m., the Cordell Elementary PTO will serve homemade ice cream. With prices ranging from just $3 to $5, there’s a flavor for every taste bud, making it the perfect treat for a summer evening at the fair while supporting a great cause.
But that’s not all! The PTO is cranking up the fun with not one but two exciting raffles that you won’t want to miss. First up is a classic 50/50 raffle, where every $1 ticket gives you a shot at winning half the pot. They will draw the lucky winner on Saturday night, August 23, so make sure to grab your ticket and keep your fingers crossed! The other half of the proceeds go back to supporting Cordell Elementary students and teachers.
For those with a sweet tooth, don’t miss out on the Cookie Raffle. For just $1 a ticket, you could win two dozen custom cookies from Sweet & Sassy Cookies, a prize valued at $120! These cookies are not just delicious—they’re beautifully crafted works of art. The winner will be announced on Saturday, October 12, the day of the Annual Pumpkin Festival. You can enter the Cordell Elementary PTO raffles at the fair or by commenting on the post in the PTO Facebook group and paying via Venmo; Cordell Elementary PTO will accept cash, check, or Venmo payments. Contributions can be made at High Plains Bank in Cordell by specifying Cordell PTO for those who wish to donate.
Whether you’re indulging in a scoop (or two) of ice cream or trying your luck with the raffles, every dollar spent will directly benefit the students and teachers at Cordell Elementary. So come out, enjoy the fair, and support a great cause!
