All it took was one phone call from the Friendswood Chamber of Commerce to greatly brighten someone's year. Dana McDonald's name was pulled from over thousands of entries in the Chamber's 29th annual "Win A Truck" raffle at its offices Monday afternoon, ending months of wondering who would be the lucky individual. Amid some raindrops falling on the Chamber of Commerce's parking lot, Cline Elementary School student Julie Williams dug deep into the clear barrel with her right arm and pulled out the slip of paper with McDonald's name on it. "Oh my gosh, I can't believe this. I'm in a state of shock," McDonald said over the phone as a Chamber member put the call on speaker for all of the small gathering to hear once they returned inside. She and Chamber members will now be heading to McRee Ford this week to take care of all the paperwork before she drives away with her unexpected prize of a 2019 Ford Ranger STX. Chamber President and CEO Carol Marcantell said between 3,700 to 3,800 entries were received before the 4 p.m. drawing. McDonald said she bought three $10 tickets, all online. "The community came out and supported us along with our Chamber members. We worked hard to get the word out. We didn't hit budget but we came close. We were kind of worried about two weeks ago," Marcantell said. Had this been a normal year, the drawing would have been held on the Fourth of July. But because the covid-19 pandemic wiped out the city's festivities, both its parade down South Friendswood Drive and fireworks this summer, the Chamber of Commerce decided to extend this year's drawing through Labor Day.ulie Williams "It's a dream maker in a way because for $10 you have...
