The governor, who used to be an avid hunter, expressed excitement about the win and mentioned his long-standing support for the department through donations to their raffle. He stated, “I’ve been part of that – donating money to the Barre Town Fire Department- for probably 20 years on this one particular raffle so I guess, eventually, you get lucky enough to win. So it was my turn.”
The Barre Town Fire Department confirmed that all tickets for the raffle have been sold out, with 42 drawings still remaining. This exciting news comes as a bright spot in the community, with many residents eager to participate in the ongoing giveaway.

The department looks forward to the remaining drawings and continued support from the community.
