South Berkshire Organization Giving You a Chance to Win $3,000

We love the Berkshire summers and with things getting back to normal, there are plenty of entertainment opportunities and open attractions. One task that everyone has to face that comes along with the spring/summer territory is pesky lawn mowing. I never understood why some folks choose to mow their lawn right in the heat of an 85 or 90 degree day but that's a whole different conversation.

So, you have to mow your lawn anyway, why not make that task a bit easier on yourself? How about a brand new mower to replace your 15 year old broken down clunker? Sheffield Kiwanis is selling tickets for their 4th Annual Mower Raffle. Tickets are $20 each or two (2) for $30. Only 1,200 tickets to be sold.

What's the prize?

The grand prize is a SCAG Liberty Zero Turn Mower provided by Cranes Outdoor Power Equipment. However, if you don't need a new mower, you can choose to walk away with $3,000 cash instead which can slide nicely into anyone's wallet.

Where can I purchase tickets?

You can purchase tickets right here at WSBS Radio, 425 Stockbridge Road, Great Barrington, MA ..any weekday from 8am - 5pm. If you want to make the ticket purchasing process even easier, you can purchase your ticket(s) right now by going here.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.
