Western Heritage Center Gun Raffle Announced
The Final Drive, a $15,000 matching challenge to complete the Kyle Evans Western Heritage Center.
With the Company Cowboys match, every dollar donated will be matched up to $15,000, meaning donations will go twice as far to help fulfill the vision for the center: “to build a center that takes visitors back in time to experience the freedom, excitement and nature of cowboy life.”
“We’ve come a long way, but we’re not quite to the finish line. The display cases are arriving, the wagons are rolling in, and the branding walls are almost ready — we just need one last push from folks who care about preserving the spirit of our local heritage,” said Phil Wipf, Kyle Evans Wagon Train Committee Member. “Whether you’re a lifelong local or a supporter from afar with ties to the community, your gift will make a lasting impact. Help us honor the legacy of Kyle Evans and keep our Western history alive.”
Donations to The Final Drive will be accepted through August 10 and can be mailed to: Kyle Evans Western Heritage Center 23028 368th Avenue Wessington Springs, SD 57382
