Folks with stuff they’d like to Trade, Swap or Sell may find some success if they come set up on the hill or yard in front of Wattsville Center on Saturday, June 1.  Setup at 7 a.m.  Go home “when you’re tired.”

“Bring your junk or treasures, produce or handicrafts, chickens or goats, guns or ammo, jelly or jam,” invites owner Ken Bates.  “There is no cost…bring your own table, chairs, tent or canopy and you can go home with a jingle in your pocket.  Let’s have a fun community market day.”

Wattsville Center is located at 4805 Hwy 501, about 2 miles north of Calvin.  For more information, contact Ken Bates at 332-8906.

The center will also feature the Old Ward 8 Veterans Memorial and there will be three events also taking place that day to raise money for the memorial.  There will be a hamburger fundraiser, a “Dead Eye Joe” Shootout and a gun raffle.

The Hamburger Fundraiser will feature burgers cooked on site (can be a cheeseburger, if you like), with a small chips, 12-ounce soda and a cookie.  All for only $7.  Proceeds go to the Old Ward 8 Veterans Memorial.

The “Dead Eye Joe” Shootout will be a .22 rifle competition.  Competitors will shoot their own rifle and ammunition.  Rifles are open sights, no scopes.  No modified or competition rifles.  Targets will be at 25 and 30 yards.  Entry fee is $25 and trophies will be given for first, second and third places.  Proceeds go to the Old Ward 8 Veterans Memorial.

The Old Ward 8 Veterans Memorial will also sponsor a Gun Raffle, with proceeds to purchase the stones required to finish the memorial.  Three .22 caliber rifles will be raffled.  (1) Ruger-American.  (2)  Ruger-10/22 (3) Rossi semi-automatic rim fire.  Tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20.  The drawing will be held that day of the Trade, Swap & Sell event, June 1.  (You do not have to be present to win).
