Guilford Free Library’s ‘Send a Kid to Camp’ raffle on again this year

GUILFORD — Friday, June 9, from 5 to 7 p.m., the Rear Defrosters will play at what has become an annual summer concert in the Guilford Fairgrounds Cattle Barn.

This will be the Library's second year hosting the Rear Defrosters, a honky tonk, country-soul, rock-n-roll band, whose players come from Vermont, New Hampshire, and Western Massachusetts.

This year's Send a Kid to Camp Raffle drawing will be held during the concert to help fund the Library's summer camp, which offers three weeks of free programming for Guilford students who've completed any grade from kindergarten through eighth grade. Interested parties may visit guilfordfreelibraryvt.org/summer-camp-2023 for more information.

Raffle tickets are $10 and can be purchased in person at the library, 4024 Guilford Center Road, on the library website, or by contacting a Library Trustee or Friend of the Library.

Prize winners will receive two $50 gift certificates to the following pairs of local businesses: Hidden Bean Bakeshop and Green River Inn, Guilford Country Store and Embue Cacao, or Hermit Thrush Homestead and Tapalou Guilds.

The library will keep a list of raffle entries and use a random number generator to select three winners. Winners do not need to be present at the June 9 drawing to win. Absent winners will be contacted by a member of the Friends of the Library after the event if they are not present.
