Annually, the event, sponsored by the Idyllwild Soroptimist Club, ensures four ticket holders of going home with a basket overflowing with valuable prizes.
Locals get excited about the possibility of winning a basket and even off-Hillers get in on the fun.
Hemet Federal Savings and Loan and Soroptimist members have tickets for sale up until the culminating raffle. Watch also for tickets on sale in front of the post office. The festival is from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, in the big cafeteria at Idyllwild Pines Camp. The camp donates the space each year. There are signs at the entrance to the camp and volunteers will help direct traffic and parking.
