Lots happening soon at Schomberg library
Schomberg Library in

It's time to think about buying a ticket in this year's cash draw being sponsored by the Schomberg Lions Club. Local resident Norm Green, a friend of the Lions, was out recently with Lion Bill Hanlon selling tickets outside Schomberg IGA. Tickets are $20 each. The first early-bird draw was Monday for $500. There will be another in October, and the grand prize will be drawn in December at Main Street Christmas.
