Heartwood Theater’s Online Vacation Property Raffle is well underway, with seven destinations:  Country House B&B in Ireland; Polanco District (Mexico City) apartment; large town house in Astoria in Coastal Oregon; Boston B&B; beautiful downtown Damariscotta waterfront condo.  

Two waterfront locations are available on Pumpkinfest Weekend ONLY: a large, family home in Edgecomb (sleeps up to 10!) and a new apartment on Water Street, overlooking the river and the Pumpkin Regatta festivities - a prime location to enjoy this annual weekend of fun.   

Winners receive up to $1,000 cash, to be paid immediately following the drawing.  Winning packages may be given away, if winners wish.

Ticket sales are capped at 125 for each property.  Up to the hour odds are available on the raffle website, for those gauging the stats.  Tickets are $50 each, except for Boston, at a low $25.

Sales (online or mail-in) continue through midnight on Thursday, May 23. Winners will be drawn at 5 p.m. on Friday, May 24.

This year’s menu of options also includes a deliciously inviting Dining Package, with not one, but two winners each receiving $50 gift certificates to 10 Midcoast dining locations (package value $500).

Featured this week:  a lovely apartment for two, in the fabulous Polanco District of Mexico City. Polanco is Mexico City’s main urban upscale district, often compared to Beverly Hills, boasting a dense concentration of museums, art galleries, parks, shopping boutiques and malls, restaurants and embassies.  This culturally rich and diverse neighborhood can easily be navigated on foot or by minibuses or trolley buses, and nearby subways connect to other parts of Mexico City.  The charming 2nd floor apartment for two provides all the necessities, with its high ceilings, king size bed, sleek kitchen/dining, washer and dryer, and tiled bath. The supermarket is just two blocks away, the subway and taxi-stands one block, and Ubers are everywhere, arriving in just two minutes.  Enjoy a refreshing rest in this private location, while recouping from your daily exciting adventures.

For information on all the properties, visit http://raffle.heartwoodtheater.org.  Availability varies by location, as noted on the website; vacation times are to be scheduled by the winners, with the property owners.
