KAMSACK — Reed Woodworth of Kamsack stuck his hand into the basket of tickets at Buck’s Dollar Store in Kamsack on Dec. 23 and withdrew the name of Chris Schwartz of Runnymede as the winner of the huge basket of goodies that was the prize in the Runnymede Cemetery Christmas draw.

Brenda MacDonald of Runnymede, an organizer of the draw that raised money for the care and maintenance of the cemetery, thanked all those who purchased tickets at $5 each or three for $10 and thanked Lillian Koroluk and her staff at Buck’s for allowing the basket to be displayed in the store and for selling many of the tickets.

“It was a huge success,” she said of the initiative, adding that in total $1,140 was raised for the project which will pay for improvements to the cemetery’s parking lot, a new gate and new signs.
