(Honesdale, June 3, 2017)… “This is a great year for prizes—we have 12-inches of them on our tickets!” laughed Bonnie Taylor, chair of the Raffle Committee for the 2017 Honesdale Roots & Rhythm Music & Arts Festival. Taylor helped garner some new prizes for this year, including two tickets to the Dweezil Zappa show in August at the Kirby Center, courtesy of the Wilkes Barre event venue.
“We also have two cash prizes– $500 and $250—plus once again, a lovely five-day, four-night stay at Alice’s cabin in Buxton, Maine,” continued Taylor. “It’s a cabin on a lake in a private setting, courtesy of Hunt Signs.”
