VERO BEACH — Driving rain and the threat of a tornado on December 18 forced the Exchange Club of Indian Foundation to postpone its Second Annual WinnerFest Raffle at the Pointe West Winter Fest.  The Raffle drawing will now be held at 3:00 pm Saturday, February 12, during Aviation Day at the Vero Beach Municipal Airport, 3400 Cherokee Drive, Vero Beach.

The grand prize is a 32GB Apple iPad with Wi-Fi valued at more than $700. Other prizes include a PaperJamz™ band, bikes, Nintendo DSi systems, an Apple 8gb iPod Nano, and other exciting toys and games.

The grown-up prize is a night in the luxurious oceanfront Costa d’Este, a $250 gift certificate from White Orchid Spa at Vero Beach Hotel and Spa, a New Vision Aesthetics treatment, gift certificates for meals at Cobalt, Riverside Café, and Sonya’s at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort, and a Disney Character Breakfast for Four.  WinnerFest is chaired by R.J. MacMillan.
