Saturday, April 26 at 6 p.m.—LUDLOW — The Ludlow Rotary Club is gearing up for the 67th annual Penny Sale in the Ludlow Elementary School gymnasium. A much-anticipated community tradition, the event promises an evening of fun, excitement, and generous prize giveaways, all supporting local students and charitable causes.

The Penny Sale is free and open to the public. Attendees can win more than $20,000 in prizes donated by area businesses and individuals. From gift certificates and cash to tools, toys, and ski passes, each of the event’s three rounds will feature over 100 prizes.

Tickets for each round are just $1.00 for 100 chances (or 6 for $5), staying true to the event’s name—one penny per chance. Winners are drawn randomly; participants can also visit the “swap table” to trade prizes with fellow attendees.

The evening will conclude with a raffle offering five cash prizes:

1st prize: $500

2nd prize: $250

3rd prize: $150

4th prize: $100

5th prize: $50

Winners do not need to be present to win, but those in attendance will receive an additional $25 added to their prize. Raffle tickets are $2 each or 3 for $5 and are available from LRC members via the club’s website at portal.clubrunner.ca/2939 or by mailing a check to LARCF, PO Box 216, Ludlow, VT 05149.

Refreshments will be available during the event.

Proceeds from the Penny Sale benefit the Ludlow Rotary Club’s scholarship fund for graduating high school seniors and support donations to local nonprofit organizations. In the past 23 years alone, the Rotary Club has awarded more than $271,000 in scholarships, with annual awards averaging $12,000.

Don’t miss this exciting night of community spirit and the chance to win great prizes—all while helping support education and charitable work in the Ludlow area.
