The National Museum of the Great Lakes is once again raffling off a multi day trip for two aboard a working Great Lakes freighter as part of its fundraising efforts this year. The winner will have the opportunity to ride and stay aboard a freighter — historically Cleveland-based Interlake provides the trip — with ports of call regularly including Monroe, Toledo and Sandusky, reports The Toledo Blade.
The second place prize is an exclusive opportunity to spend a night in the Benson Ford Shiphouse on South Bass ISland, where the ship’s pilothouse and cabins were transported years ago. The“Ultimate Put-in-Bay Experience” includes restaurant vouchers, ticket vouchers for four to the Put-in-Bay Tour Train, Perry’s Cave, the War of 18 Holes miniature golf course, Butterfly House, Heineman’s Winery and Crystal Cave Tours, Lake Erie Islands Nature and Wildlife Center, and round-trip transportation on the Jet Express ferry, reports The Toledo Blade.
Third prize is 10 tickets to next year’s raffle. Tickets cost $100 each, or three for $250, and the winners will be drawn on October 3, 2024, with the option to purchase tickets up to the day before.
