Prizes for the contest are as follows: 1st Place: Comedy & Dinner for Four at Patrick’s Comedy Night; 2nd Place: Dinner for two at Patrick's Comedy Night; 3rd Place: Dinner for two at Patrick's Pub. Chances for the Ice-Out contest are $2 each or three for $5. All money collected will go directly to Community Health & Hospice. Tickets for the contest may be purchased at Patrick’s anytime before midnight Saturday, April 9th.
