The Veterans of Foreign Wars and The American Legion have rescheduled their drawing for the Traeger table top grill donated by South Ark Equipment in order to allow the winner to use the grill to celebrate the Fourth of July weekend.

The drawing has been moved from July 12 to June 24, at the Richland Parish Library. Tickets will continue to be sold for $5 each through June 22 in front of several stores throughout Richland Parish.

Proceeds will fund programs to benefit veterans and the community.
