July 4th this year marked the 35th anniversary of the Tucker Community Foundation’s Uncle Sam’s Birthday Party. The event, held at Bear Paw Lodge in Canaan Valley State Park, was a gala event complete with gourmet meal, cash bar and prizes. Special commemorative plates printed with the name of the event and date were given to each attendee as a memento of the event.
Throughout the night’s elimination, bal-loons with monetary amounts ranging from $250 to $1,000 were drawn along with numbers for sets of Fiestaware dishes. Separate raffles were held for two E-bikes, a Greenbrier getaway and two Tucker Pack-ages. The final ticket was raffled off for $4,500, but was not the $10,000 winner. That distinction went to an amazed Amanda Simmons.
$10,000.
Birthday Party July 4th.
