On Wednesday, August 19, members of the Hogs For Hospice committee met with the big winners of the most recent Hogs 50-50 raffle. On August 14, two tickets were drawn as this year’s winners, with Roger Roehler of Essex taking home the big prize of $245,725 and Kris Ennis of Cottam riding away with a 2026 Harley Davidson Street Glide. Roehler had been on a trip across the continent to Alaska on his bike, but after a couple of breakdowns that got him as far as Jasper, AB, he turned back and came home. Roehler received the big call from the Hogs committee while he was waiting to cross the border back into Canada at Windsor. The truck driver and his family will pay off some debt, buy a new bike and put the rest away for retirement. As for the Harley Davidson winner, Kris Ennis, he has plans to fix up his old bike, which he hasn’t been able to ride in a number of years. Both winners were happy and excited to receive their prizes.
