Raffle tickets cost $1 each and may be purchased at the Alderson Community Market located at the Greenbrier Interpretive Center (old Gulf Station) located on Route 3/12 by the old bridge in Alderson. The outdoor market is open every Tuesday from 4 to 7 p.m. and features live music, activities for children, workshops, demonstrations, and a diverse group of vendors selling fresh local fruits and vegetables, local meat, eggs, handmade crafts, personal care products, baked goods such as pepperoni rolls and croissants, canned goods, plants, and a variety of prepared foods.
