A partnership between Yara Belle Plaine, A.E. Peacock Collegiate and Saskatchewan 4-H made it possible for the students at A.E. Peacock Collegiate to build the grand prize greenhouse of the 25th Annual 4-H Saskatchewan Lottery.
Yara Belle Plaine provided the funds, while Vice-Principal Brad Raes facilitated the evdeavour for the lottery.
Many students had the chance to help with the greenhouse under the supervision of the Peacock’s shop teacher, Joel Robinson with the project taking about 25-30 working hours to complete.
"I would really like to thank Mr. Robinson for the extra work that he takes-on in doing this for the kids, and the Yara Centre for donating all this stuff," said Raes.
Once the students had finished the greenhouse, Home Hardware transported the greenhouse to their parking lot for display and will be transported to the winner’s residence after the draw.
For 25 years, the Saskatchewan 4-H Lottery has been running with the grand prize of a greenhouse, with a retail value of $10,890. At the same time, a 50/50 Jackpot prize winner will receive fifty percent of all 50/50 sales. Tickets are $10 for one ticket, $20 for ten tickets, and $50 for fifty tickets. The 50/50 raffle will be selling tickets at $10 for one, $20 for ten tickets, and $50 for fifty tickets.
The final draw will take place August 24th.
