There won't be a Farmers and Merchants Picnic this year, but the planning committee will hold a raffle that you will want to have at least one ticket, maybe five, in your pocket.

Here's what you need to know about the prizes:
• 1st place - smoker/grill with Keystone Meat gift card
• 2nd place - Family Getaway to Kalahari
• 3rd place - flat screen TV
• 4th place - Firepit and bundled wood
• plus, several other prizes

Tickets are $1 each or six for $5. The drawing is at noon, Saturday Aug. 8, in the Ada War Memorial Park, and ticket holders do not need to be present to win. (That’s when this year’s picnic was originally scheduled.)

Tickets are on sale in the park office, located between the football stadium and the swimming pool.
