Tractor giveaway to benefit youth

The Nappanee Early Bird Kiwanis Club is sponsoring a fund raiser to help pay for the initial excavating costs of developing permanent soccer fields at the Duerksen Sportsplex, located just east of the municipal golf course. The fund raiser consists of raffling off an “Indianapolis Colts Edition” Simplicity Lawn Tractor. Tickets are priced at $2 each, or three for $5. The drawing will be held Super Bowl Sunday, January 25, and the winner need not be present to win. The tractor can be seen at Martin’s Supermarket in Nappanee. Tickets are currently available at various retail locations in Nappanee and Wakarusa, and from any Early Bird Kiwanis member. According to Ron Bedward, chairman for the endeavor, tickets will soon be available from all 1997 soccer players, as well. He said, “We wanted to involve the kids who actually use and will benefit from the new fields.” Bedward said the plans are to have the tickets in the soccer players’ hands by mid-November, so they can sell them to friends and family members over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season. He stated, “It’s not our intent to have the kids go door-to-door with the tickets, but rather to
