If You’ve Ever Wanted to Have Your Own ‘Hut’ You Could Win One from a Kentucky Charity

When I was a kid, we had a gigantic playhouse that my family built. With the help of some friends from the neighborhood, we put in our own special brand of "sweat equity" and constructed ourselves the coolest playhouse ever. It was like a treehouse minus the tree. We built the thing on stilts and it was amazing. All the kids from our neighborhood loved that thing and we had a blast playing in it for years.

The new "hut" that Habitat for Humanity Owensboro-Daviess County is giving away reminds me a lot of it. Check this out.

See, Habitat for Humanity is hosting a raffle to give it away and we're celebrating that raffle on Friday here at the WBKR studios.

We are well into our 2023 Yard Party season. At the start of every spring, we team up with nonprofits in our area for a series of events we call Yard Parties. We invite a variety of local agencies to host cookouts and fundraising events here on the front lawn of the WBKR studios.

This Friday, May 19th, we're hosting Habitat for Humanity for the first time ever.

We'll have two food trucks on site- Taqueria la Bendicion de Dios and Ben's Soft Pretzels will be on hand selling food.  The Habitat staff will be on hand as well and they'll be selling raffle tickets. Those tickets are $20 a piece and the grand prize winner is going to receive a backyard shed (a.k.a. the "hut"), a gas grill, two bar stools, a new recliner and a 55-inch TV!

If you'd like to make a donation to Habitat for Humanity Owensboro-Daviess County or purchase your raffle ticket (or tickets), you can do so via PayPal or with a debit or credit card by scanning this QR code.
