(March 15, 2018) The Pocomoke City Volunteer Fire Company will host its second annual Boat and Cash Bash on Saturday, March 24.

The event has become the fire company’s major fundraising event and helps ensure the organization is equipped to provide adequate fire and rescue to the community.

Last year’s event sold out at 1,000 tickets. This year, 1,250 tickets will be offered and the fire company expects another sellout.

Ticket holders have the chance to win $250 in cash every 15 minutes from 1-5:30 p.m., with a $1,000 cash prize awarded at 3:30 p.m.

The grand prize is a 17-foot Carolina skiff with trailer and 60 HP Mercury engine from Goldsborough’s Marine in Crisfield. The boat will be awarded at the conclusion of the event, at 5:45 p.m.

In addition, there will be raffles throughout the day featuring a variety of fishing gear, sporting goods, gift baskets and jewelry collections.

Doors open at 12:30 p.m. with the event starting at 1 p.m. Ticket holders do not need to be present to win. The fire company will ensure winners not at the event will be notified of their prizes.
