I was curious who had won the Hawaii trip through the Lakewood Historical Society - I bought several tickets but was not able to attend. Thanks!

Congratulations to Don Anderson, deputy mayor of Lakewood, who was the lucky winner of the Lakewood Historical Society raffle for a condo in Hawaii in September. The winner was selected Saturday afternoon during SummerFest at Ft. Steilacoom Park. Enjoy!
