The Hub

Fair Time!
August 21-25, 2019 is when the NEW Fair takes place at the Colville Fairgrounds. The HUB will be hosting a booth at this year’s fair. The purpose is two-fold. First, we will be handing out information about the HUB, including rental info, membership, and lunch menus. Secondly, we will kick off the Gonzaga Raffle. Tickets will be $5.00, and we have some great prizes. First prize is two tickets to the Gonzaga vs. St. Mary’s game, that night at the Davenport Hotel, and $100.00 towards food and gas. Second prize is a Gonzaga bed set that includes sheets, pillowcases, and comforter. Third prize is a set of Gonzaga Bulldog floor mats. Fourth Prize is a Gonzaga T-shirt. This raffle is our second most successful fundraiser and very important to the success of the HUB. We will need volunteers to man the booth on Thursday – Saturday from 9-5. A sign-up sheet for two-hour periods will be available at the HUB after the first of August.
