Last Chance to Buy Raffle Tickets to Support Oconee County Deputies' Trip to D.C.

A group of Oconee County Sheriff's deputies is preparing to make what has become next month for National Police Week. They spend their time escorting families of fallen officers and attending ceremonies and candlelight vigils for their fallen brethren.

The trip has been made possible since 2010 thanks to support from the community through funds raised during raffles.

This year's raffle will be held on Saturday, May 4, at 4 p.m. at Clyde Armory. The grand prize? A new Colt LE6920 AR-15. Tickets are $10 each and may be purchased at the Oconee County Sheriff's Office or at Clyde Armory up until the time of the drawing. 

You do not need to be present to win the grand prize, but there will be other prizes to win for ticket holders who are present, according to the Deputies to D.C. Facebook Page.

For more information, call or email Lt. Griffin Attaberry at 706-424-5655 or gattaberry@oconeesheriff.org.
