The event will include vendors such as Lavender Wishes, The Silver Branch, and individual vendors selling their products. In addition, New Ipswich Library merchandise will be available for purchase. Tickets for the raffle are $10 each or four tickets for $30, and people can purchase them on behalf of families who could use heating oil as a prize. The raffle items include 100 gallons of heating oil from Brideau Energy, as well as donations from other small businesses and individuals including Forge and Vine of Groton, Mass., New Ipswich illustrator Matt Patterson, The Optimist Café of Peterborough, The Birchwood Inn of Temple, Mother Hubbard’s Ladle of New Ipswich, Agway of Peterborough, John’s Market of Greenville, The Window Shop at Monadnock Community Hospital, Silver Scone Teas of New Ipswich, and Twelve Pines of Peterborough.
