Support Oglesby firefighters each Wednesday

Queen of Hearts fundraiser conducted

The Morris Police confirmed they received a call about an evacuation and that a squad car was en route to the bar, but had no further information. The VFW did not respond to a call for comment. The winner will take home 70 percent of the pot, which is about $1.11 million before taxes. The VFW will take 15 percent, about $238,000 before taxes, and the remaining 15 percent goes to the next game's pot. If someone's ticket is pulled and they do not pick the Queen of Hearts, that person gets $50. If someone's ticket is drawn with a number that has already been unsealed, that person, if at the bar, can choose another number. If they aren't at the bar, they will be called with the phone number they wrote on the ticket. If that person doesn't answer, another ticket will be drawn.

Oglesby Firefighters Association, a non-profit organization that raises funds for the Oglesby Fire Department, is hosting a Queen of Hearts raffle fundraiser every Wednesday at Claudette’s, 253 E. Walnut St., in Oglesby.
