The coordinators have said that: "Our goal in holding this event is to help children of the
world who are stricken with diseases like cancer, AIDS, and sickle cell disease. St Jude
Children's Research Hospital is a world leader in the fight against these diseases, and they have made greater progress because of the help of people like the citizens of Mountain Home, Idaho.
This year a quilt made by local quilter, Elizabeth Sears, is being raffled off the day of the event. Fashioned from t shirts of local St Jude rides over the years and with quilting donated by Three Island Quilts of Glenns Ferry, tickets are one for $1, or six for $5. Tickets can be purchased from either Candy or Janet, or at the Phoenix Storybook Co, 2390 American legion Blvd, where the quilt is also on display. Winner need not be present to win.
