25.01.2022 There might even be a best engine prize

24.01.2022 We have updated the online ticket purchasing due to the previous link, which first allowed our fundraising later declined, we apologize to those who were refund...ed their money... Each year we run a raffle, of which the proceeds are used to run our fair, with the surplus being distributed to local community organisations. These organisations rely on funds raised from our fair to continue to provides services to our community. This year, with the unprecedented cancellation of most activities which usually occur over the easter weekend in Maldon, our raffle is likely not going to raise as much money as it normally would. We are asking for your help. We are still running our raffle as we have in the past, but are selling the tickets online and at the Maldon Hotel. Proceeds raised will go to our local community organisations including: - Maldon Hospital - Maldon Brass Band - Maldon Mens Shed - Maldon Vintage Machinery Museum - Maldon Fire Brigade Prizes are the same as in the past - the wheelbarrow of goods, including the wheelbarrow! If you win any of the three prizes, we will deliver this for free anywhere within Victoria. UPDATED LINK https://maldon-easter-fair-inc.myshopify.com//2020-raffle-
