Each $25 ticket will admit one to the garden party on September 12, and each ticket will provide one chance to win in the drawing. The extra bonus is that each ticket sold will support the Centre County Historical Society as we work to preserve and promote our rich community heritage.

The drawing will take place at 3:30 p.m., but you do not need to be present to win. Even if you are unable to attend the party, however, we hope you will purchase tickets.
