Turkey raffle

Diemand Farm in Wendell had a surplus of turkeys this holiday season, and, so, it is raffling off a frozen bird every Monday through Feb. 20.

Sizes vary.

To enter the free drawing, visit Diemand Farm Store at 126 Mormon Hollow Road and fill out a raffle slip with your name and phone number. Winners will be called during business hours every Monday and must pick up their turkeys at the farm store.
