VanCura wins truck raffle
Bill VanCura of New Prague won the raffle of a free, two-year lease on a 2004 Ford Ranger Super Cab 4x4 on Sunday. Raffle proceeds, totalling $6,000, were donated to the New Prague Fire Department, which will use the money to buy a first response vehicle to replace a 14-year-old vehicle. The raffle, sponsored by New Prague Market Place, McDonald’s, New Prague Ford-Mercury and Community Security Bank of New Prague, ran for about two months. Becker said the fire department is thankful to the group of sponsors and those who bought tickets for the raffle.
