The Frankfort Lions Club thanks everyone who bought a raffle ticket to support their important work throughout the 2013-2014 year. The raffle was a success and the Dance went well. Although the attendance this year was somewhat lower than last year those who attended had a great time.
Here are some photos from the dance. Excuse the poor photography the point and shoot camera in combination with a drunk photographer made for some fuzzy photos.
The Frankfort Lions held the drawing for the prizes at 11:00 p.m. this evening 29 August 2013. Seven lions stood in front of the stage holding an empty bucket. Lion Alan Stratton rolled the drum several more times and Mayor Jim Holland picked a medicine vial from the drum and placed it into bucket number one held by Lion Tom Carstens. The mayor followed the sequence until he drew all the numbers and placed in their respective buckets. Lion Nancy Schmitz directed the process from the stage. Lion Nancy asked the mayor to remove the vial from the bucket number seven and to remove the ticket. The mayor announced the winner of seventh prize. The Mayor handed the ticket stub to Lion Nancy who marked the back of the ticket with the number seven. She handed the marked ticket to Lion Alan Stratton who then wrote the name and number on the announcement board shown below. The mayor went through this process five more times. When it came to announce the grand prize winner, Lion Nancy paused the announcement to pull the winning ticket in the 50/50 raffle. The winner from Mokena was present and picked up $387 in cash. Lion Nancy then asked the mayor to read the winner for the ten thousand dollar grand prize. The winner is Justin Mizera of Tinley Park, Illinois.
Here is a complete list of winners:
1. $10,000– Justin Mizera—00678 (corrected)

The Frankfort Lions thank the greater Frankfort community for their support and enthusiasm for this raffle. The plain and simple fact is that the Lions cannot serve anyone without generous support from the community. Thanks again for everyone who bought a ticket, and the great people who attended the Dance. We hope you had as good a time listening and dancing to Sundance as we had in organizing the event.
