The Great Baby Give Away!
50/50 Raffle
(we’re not giving away a baby)
Outgoing Executive Director, Suzanne Eikenberry is having a baby!
To celebrate Suzanne (and Jim’s) new bundle of joy, Montpelier Alive is holding a 50/50 raffle. The raffle winner will be the person who most accurately guesses the actual arrival date and time for the new baby without going over! The official due date is 9/28! All proceeds benefit Montpelier Alive.
Tickets on sale at Capitol Stationers & Community National Bank in Montpelier. Tickets are $2 each or 3 for $5.
If you have not gotten your tickets yet, the stakes are heating up! Over $500 worth of tickets have been sold already, with that number going up daily!
Wondering what dates are popular? Here is our spread so far:

So... how to choose what date to guess? We have heard a lot of theories from the sweet (my birthday, my kids' birthdays) to the mystical (the full moon is 9/23) to the superstitious (number of full moons in total) to the scientific (this is a first child). But we are sure you have your own method!
