The Westminster Fire Department announces its annual Big Money Raffle winners By Kevin Dayhoff


The Westminster Fire Department announces its annual Big Money Raffle winners

The summer carnival season has begun in Carroll County



The Carroll County carnival and fire department fund raising season got kicked off last Wednesday when the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1 held its annual Big Money Raffle.

In addition to eight cash drawings there was plenty of fried chicken, hot dogs, and all the traditional summer picnic delights available as friends, family, and community gathered to fill the engine bays at the fire station at 28 John Street in Westminster in what has become an annual tradition in Carroll County.

This year the fire company gave away $20,950 at the event.  The first prize was $15,000; among a total of eight prizes raffled off – all for a $20.00 ticket.




The winners for the annual raffle are as follow: First Prize went to Dawn Duff, second prize to Debbie Reese, third prize to Don Burkward, fourth prize to Suzanne Schreuer, fifth prize to Julia Kimsey, sixth prize to Henry Ruhlman, seventh prize to Truman Simms, and eighth prize to Vicki Munshaur.

A press release from the Westminster volunteer fire department said, “The officers and members of the Westminster Fire Department congratulate all the winners and thank everyone that supported the annual raffle and attended the function at the Fire Station on Thursday night.  Without your support the fire department would not be able to continue to provide the service community.”

In addition to the Westminster volunteer fire company event, the beginning of the 2011 summer season includes the annual Gamber Volunteer Fire Department carnival at the Gamber carnival grounds which began May 28 and continues through June 4.

The annual Union Bridge Fire Company carnival at 8 W. Locust Street, Union Bridge, got started Memorial Day, May 30, after the annual Union Bridge Memorial Day ceremonies and continues through Saturday, June 4.

The annual summer Carroll County carnival season also includes the St. John Parish Catholic Church Carnival at 43 Monroe Street in Westminster.  The carnival began May 30 and runs through Saturday, June 4.

The New Windsor Fire & Hose Co. No. 1 annual fundraising carnival begins Monday, June 6, and continues through June 10, at the carnival grounds immediately behind the fire station in town.

Mark your calendar for the annual Taneytown Volunteer Fire Company firefighters’ carnival coming soon on June 13 through June 18.

On Saturday, June 4, the annual Antique Fire Department parade will motor down Pennsylvania Avenue, on to Main Street, and then Center Street to the Carroll County Farm Museum; to kick off the 42nd Annual Spring Antique Fire Equipment Show, hosted by the Chesapeake Antique Fire Apparatus Association.

And don’t miss the annual Art in the Park, hosted by the Carroll County Arts Council, on the grounds of Westminster City Hall on June 4 from June 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
