"Owly" the Raffle Owl hits the road to sell tickets for a scholarship


      "Owly" the Owl is about to make personal appearances in and around Lamoille County.  Strapped into the front passenger seat of Laraway Executive Director Greg Stefanski's car, "Owly" is being raffled to raise money for scholarships awarded to Laraway youth transitioning to college.
      Jake Swan, owner of Art of the Carve, donated the approximately owl, made of white pine, for the drawing.  Swanson, a 2016 graduate of North Country Union High School in Newport, is ranked among the Top 25 Carvers in the United States.
     The drawing is Tuesday, May 22nd at 4:00 p.m. at Laraway.  Ticket holders do not have to be present to win.  Tickets are 1 for $5 and 3 for $10 and can be purchased by contacting Katherine at 802-635-2805 x 106 or Kstamper@Laraway.org.
