Feb. 16—Tickets are on sale for the 37th annual Stan Zona Memorial Wild Game Dinner, Cookout and Gun Raffles, which will be held on May 5 in honor of former firefighter and veteran Stan Zona.

An event flyer said that organizers will sell up to 75 tickets at $25 per person. Attendees must provide an email address or a mobile phone number that can receive text messages.

People who buy tickets in advance will also receive a commemorative 16-ounce glass beer mug that will be sold at the event for $15.

Organizers are also asking attendees to bring food or an adult beverage to share.

According to the flyer, the event normally includes a 50/50 raffle, basket raffles, five gun raffles and a "first responder and veterans appreciation raffle for a walleye charter on Lake Erie's central basin." The attendees who bring the three best-tasting dishes will receive cash.

The event will be cash-only, it added. Half of the total event profits will go to the Travis Mills Foundation.
