Slippery’s Bar in Wessington Springs recently launched a new fundraiser, “Chasing the A of Hearts,” held on Thursdays, with 25% of the winning proceeds benefiting the Springs Area Bus/ROCS Transit. Funds will help sustain the Meals on Wheels program and Sunday rides to worship services.
Ticket sales will run from 5 to 6:45 p.m., with the drawing at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 each, and patrons may purchase as many as they wish. Players must be 21 or older and present to win. The winner will receive half the pot, with 25% rolling over to the next drawing. For some added fun, if patrons draw a Joker, they will win a free pizza and two free well drinks.
The fundraiser was created in response to a June 24 announcement from ROCS that Sunday worship rides and weekday meal deliveries would end without $1,500 in monthly local support. Of that, $525 is needed for Sunday transit and $975 for five-day-a-week meal delivery.
