Elimination Draw and Fish Fry Returns to Lions Auditorium

Elimination Draw tickets are $100 each and Fish Fry tickets can be purchased at the door for $30 each.

TILLSONBURG - The Tillsonburg Shrine Club is getting ready for it's third annual Fish Fry and Elimination Draw.

It will be taking place at Lion's Auditorium on Friday with the doors opening at 5:00 p.m.

All of the money raised will support Shriners Hospitals. Montreal was home to the only Shriners Hospital in Canada for quite some time, but Tillsonburg Shrine Club Secretary and Event Chairperson Cedric Tomico says that's not the case anymore.

"We do have a clinic that is being operated right here at the London Health Sciences Centre. So all of the money will be donated to Shrine Hospitals but earmarked towards the clinic that is being run at the London Health Sciences Centre and the costs that surround it."

Tickets for all-you-can-eat fish dinner will cost $30 at the door. It will include deep fried pickerel, crispy fries, homemade tartar sauce, coleslaw, and garlic bread and there will be a take-out option as well. There will be alcohol served, so this is an age of majority (19+) event.

Tomico explains how the elimination draw works.

"We have 400 tickets only that we sell. Each ticket is $100, so we bring in $40,000 and we give half of it back. Basically we start drawing names and the last name picked wins $20,000."

The elimination draw tickets have to be purchased in advance and you can message the Tillsonburg Shrine Club on Facebook page for more information.

Tomico says this has been a wonderful event over the past few years and he's looking forward to seeing lots of smiling faces on Friday.

"We just hope we get a great turnout, feed a lot of people in the process, make a lot of people happy and raise a lot of money for the children."
