The Hazleton Rotary Club is pleased to announce that the track is back! Once again you can join the club at the starting gate for an evening of fun at “ A Night At the Races”, Friday February 28, 2014. You can purchase a horse or place a bet at the J.J. Ferrara Performing Arts Center, 212 West Broad Street, Hazleton. The doors to this Hazleton Rotary Club fundraiser, will open at 6:00PM, with festivities scheduled to begin at 6:30PM.
The admission price is $8.00 for advanced tickets or $10.00 at the door that evening.
It promises to be a fun filled evening with 12 races (sets of 10 horses running each race). Horses and admission tickets can be purchased prior to Race Night from any Rotary Club member. Don’t know a Rotary Club member? Call 570-578-1003 or 570-454-5000 for more information.
Enjoy the magic of naming and racing your own horse—you can buy as many horses as you want at a cost of $10.00 each. Horses may also be purchased on the night of the race and will be announced in a race that has an open slot. Owners of the winning horses don’t have to be present to claim their prize.
Just like at the track, windows will also be available for betting prior to each race. Each ticket will cost $2.00. So, not only can you own a winning horse, but you can possibly collect a winning bet on another horse. Even if you don’t buy a horse, you can still bet on other races.
FREE food and refreshments will be available throughout the night. You must be 21 years old in order to attend.
You can also purchase a strip of tickets and take a chance on winning any of the wonderful array of Tricky Trays that will be available. Drawings will be held throughout the evening and you must be present to win.
“Master Sponsor” for the event is DBi Services.
Committee members are Rotarians Donna Barna-Chairperson, Mary Malone, Mark Imbriaco, Bill Waschko, Pat Korb, Gene Acri, Jerry Panisak, Tim Genetti, Lisa Finklestein, John Beltrami, Gene Dougherty, Dorothy Anderson, De Ann Miller and Gary Lagana.
Proceeds from this fund raising project will be used to support the various local community needs that
The Hazleton Rotary Club consistently provides. Examples of these needs include an annual Kidz Coatz giveaway, 3rd grade dictionary giveaway, children’s Christmas shopping spree, scholarship awards and
periodic funding to local charitable and non-profit organizations.
