LUDLOW, Vt. – Thanks to prizes donated by over 100 area businesses and individuals, the 64th annual Penny Sale, sponsored by the Ludlow Rotary Club, will resume on Saturday, April 30 at 6 p.m. in the Ludlow Elementary School’s gymnasium.
The Items being donated will include ski passes, cash, sweatshirts, restaurant gift cards, day or overnight summer camp packages, auto services, microwaves, bicycles, Mary Meyers stuffed animals, plants, ski sweaters, ski coats, hotel stays, a gaming computer, and many other surprising gifts.
The raffle, normally conducted at the close of the Penny Sale, will offer cash prizes.
