Time is running out to support the Weyburn Trails Association and potentially win a new mountain bike. They'll be making the draw on July 31st.
The volunteer-led organization is holding a raffle for a 2024 Norco Storm 1 mountain bike, with the draw scheduled for this Wednesday. All proceeds from the raffle will be used to fund equipment and build and maintain the trail system in and around Weyburn.
"This is a zero barrier trail system for everyone on the planet where you could bike, walk, unicycle, crawl, etc., and you could just come try them," said Trevor Tessier, a member of the Weyburn Trails Association. The association is a volunteer-led team that builds trails, educates children on bike safety, and helps people with bicycle maintenance.
"Every dollar that goes towards this raffle will go directly to maintaining the trails, the equipment, and expanding the trails in Weyburn and the surrounding areas, with hopefully a goal of someday reaching Nickle Lake," Tessier said.
The grand prize is a medium-sized 2024 Norco Storm 1 mountain bike, which was donated to the Weyburn Trails Association. Tickets are $10 for one or $20 for three. There is no limit to the number of tickets being sold.
To purchase tickets, you can contact any member of the Weyburn Trails Association or reach out to them on their Facebook page.
