We're having a raffle and would greatly appreciate your support! The drawing will be at half-time of the boys' basketball game between Quinter and Wheatland-Grinnell on February 11. You do not have to be present to win, but hopefully you will be there that night to eat a bowl of soup (a free-will donation for our cause) and support the basketball teams of Gove County.

The mission for Castle Rock Health and Fitness is to provide low-cost fitness centers for the citizens of Gove County. We have 3 locations: Quinter, Grainfield and Gove. One membership gives access to all locations! We aim to keep our memberships rates as low as possible. We have continued to have increasing numbers of people who regularly use the centers, but membership fees are not enough to pay for replacing equipment and building maintenance.

To get tickets, contact your local directors: Carmen Simon in Quinter, Kay Haffner in Grainfield or Kirsten Lundgren in Gove. Also board members: Dr. Doug Gruenbacher, Ivy Charles, Deidre Zimmerman, Amy (Holthus) Briggs, Andrew Tom, Diane Wetter, Tranda Watts and Jim Anstaett.
