Millerton’s Townscape sets 50/50 raffle drawing for Sept. 13

MILLERTON — Millerton’s Townscape team will hold its Summer 50/50 Raffle Drawing on Saturday, Sept. 13, at 2 p.m. in Veteran’s Park by the Townscape tent. The raffle pot currently exceeds $5,000, with the lucky winner taking home half. Attendees can enjoy lemonade and cookies. The winner does not need to be present.

For more than 25 years, Townscape has worked to beautify Millerton with street trees, flower plantings, holiday lights, benches, historic building registrations and design services. Visitors to this summer’s Millerton Farmers Market have likely met the Townscape team, an outgoing and lively group planted at the corner of Main Street and Dutchess Avenue each Saturday.

The drawing will coincide with an “Impromptu Art in the Park” event, featuring local artists showcasing and selling their work. Attendees are encouraged to bring friends and pets for an afternoon of art, community and fun.
