Still time to get in on cuckoo clock
An authentic Swiss cuckoo clock from Lucerne, Switzerland is currently available through a raffle being operated by Alpine Hills Museum in Sugarcreek.
The cuckoo clock auction began during the Swiss Festival, but there remains plenty of time to get in on the game.
Thanks to a donation, an authentic Swiss cuckoo clock from Lucerne, Switzerland that was purchased by John and Jeanna Edie of Zoarville in 1998 is currently available through a raffle being operated by Alpine Hills Museum in Sugarcreek. The clock was purchased a quarter-century ago by the Edies for $800 at Bucherer Cassagrande Souvenirs. It was displayed in the Edie home since then before the Edie family donated it to the Swiss Village Museum recently in honor of John and Jeanna.
The cuckoo clock itself is just over 1-foot wide and features a waterwheel on one side and dancing Swiss people on a carousel on the other.
Tickets may be purchased until Dec. 22 when the raffle drawing will take place. Simply stop by the museum Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. to purchase tickets. Anyone with questions can call the museum at 330-852-4113.
