Columbus VFD Fish Fry

During the weeks before the Fish Fry, 400 Bucket Brigade tickets are sold for $40 a piece.  Each ticket is good for tow plates of fish and a chance at the $2,500 sweepstakes.  While everyone eats the tickets are pulled and the buyer's name announced (winners and losers alike).  Every 25th ticket wins $50 and the last three drawn get the big prizes.  (08.18.02)
