2012 Virginia Festival of the Book Raffle

Raffle Tickets 1 for $10 or 2 for $18

Please note, your raffle ticket purchase is not tax deductible. Of course, if you'd rather just make a donation (which is tax deductible), your support will help keep the Festival free and open to the public.

Winners will be announced at the “Southern Refrains” program, March 24, 8 pm, at the Paramount Theater. You do not need to be present to win. Festival organizers will contact you by phone or email.

Tickets can be purchased at the Festival information desk in the Omni downtown.
