“I Pablo Cortez am not officially part of the festival committee. But I take it on my own to try to help the church by selling as many tickets as I can. Last year I was able to sell 675 tickets for which I want to thank all the persons that helped by buying tickets. I wish I can do that good again, so again I ask for your help,” said Pablo Cortez.
“I wish some of the businesses that read this ad will open their hearts and be willing to buy s o me tickets for their employees. I am sure that it could be tax deductible and who knows you might buy a lucky number. Last year I had three winners, a $100 winner, a $200 winner and a $2,000 winner! If you are a business owner and wish to help me please call me at (830) 709-3123 and I’ll be glad to take you tickets”.
“ I also wish to thank the Devine News for all the support they have always given me and Lytle. Thanks and May God Bless You,” Pablo Cortez.

A double door bbq pit on a trailer just like last year’s is the grand prize of the St Andrew Fest set for September 29. A trip to Rome and Venice is the 2nd prize. There is a total of 25 prizes this year.
