Legion awards prizes, sales hit $8,000

BY JEFF B. FLINN Managing Editor

Three supporters of local American Legion Post 313 received early Christmas gifts, taking part in one of the Post’s most lucrative fundraisers to date Post members spent two months selling raffle tickets -- many dealt to the public from a booth outside the Black Rifle Coffee Company in Boerne, where a half-dozen American Legion members met on Monday to draw the winning names.

The Post, which began in Boerne about 3½ years ago, made $8,000 from the 2,000 raffle tickets it sold.
