Hey fans, we need your help. We need to keep selling tickets to the Reisch Charities Raffle that is scheduled in coordination with the Major League Eating event at the International Mother Road Festival. To build up some excitement, we have TWO tickets for the SOLD-OUT Lainey Wilson show at the Illinois State Fair and we’re going to Give Them Away!

Here’s how you can get in on the ACTION!

Share this post for ONE entry to the Lainey Wilson ticket raffle and we will draw for those tickets at our regular monthly drawing for the $100 monthly prize on July 26, 2026. BUT if you want to increase your chances, all you need to do is buy a ticket!

Every Reisch Charities Raffle Ticket sold between July 1 and July 25, 2026, at 5pm Central Time will also be entered into the Lainey Wilson ticket drawing. Buy more than one ticket and get another entry to BOTH drawings.

Share this post = one chance in the Lainey Wilson ticket drawing.
Share and buy a ticket = two chances in the Lainey Wilson ticket drawing.
Each additional ticket purchased equals an additional entry in the Lainey Wilson ticket drawing.

Thanks for the great write up on the story!!

“The Cozy Dog has never belonged only to our family. It belongs to Springfield, too,” said Waldmire. “It belongs to the people who remember stopping at the restaurant when they were kids, and now bring their own kids and grandkids back.”
