Hoquiam Central Elementary School students Hannia Alejandre and Aiden Butcher drew the winner, Richard Vickery of Elma, who took home this 2016 Colorado red Jeep Renegade 4x4. Other winners were Ed and Fern Backholm of Hoquiam who won a Honda trimmer, and Anne Larson of Aberdeen who won the “staycation” package at the Quinault Beach Resort. All 2,500 tickets were sold by mid-December and raised just under $25,000 for the museum’s operating budget. “Though a vehicle for 2017 hasn’t’ been announced yet, the Polson can assure the public that it will be red!” said museum director John Larson.
