On Friday, February 20, 2026, at 7 pm, the Indian Lake Volunteer Fire Department Fire Hall will fill with laughter, friendly competition, and the unmistakable excitement of shouting “winner!”—all for a good cause.

The Steet Toyota Meat Raffle benefits both the Indian Lake Theater and the Indian Lake Volunteer Fire Department. It may not be the kind of event typically featured in glossy travel magazines—but that’s precisely why it deserves attention. This is Adirondack community spirit at its most authentic.

A night that’s all about community.

This event isn’t about pomp or pretense. It’s about neighbors gathering to support two institutions that anchor Indian Lake year-round: the local theater that brings films, culture, and connection to the mountains, and the volunteer firefighters who show up when it matters most.

Ten rounds of raffles will take place throughout the evening, with multiple winners in each round. More than 35 winners will head home with high-quality meat from the Deli & Meat Store of the North and other delicious food prizes.

There’s even a lively speed round, where winners grab meat and food in a fast-paced dash that promises plenty of laughs.

What to expect.

Guests can purchase pre-packets of 10 raffle tickets—one for each round—at the Indian Lake Theater, valued at $35, for just $20 when purchased ahead of time. Additional tickets for individual rounds and the speed round will be available at the event.

Why this event fits ADK Taste.

At first glance, a “meat raffle” may sound a little… unexpected. But ADK Taste champions experiences that reflect the true character of the Adirondacks. This event supports local culture and public safety while bringing the community together during Presidents’ Week—one of the busiest and most festive times of winter in Indian Lake.

It also offers visitors something refreshingly real. Travelers searching for authentic Adirondack events often discover that the most memorable experiences happen in fire halls, community centers, and local gathering spaces—not just on ski slopes or in resort ballrooms.

This raffle does exactly what the Adirondacks do best: it blends practicality, humor, generosity, and neighborly warmth.

Beef. It’s what’s for dinner.

Make it part of your winter weekend.

Indian Lake’s Snocade festivities continue throughout the week, and this fundraiser offers a fun, off-slope evening option. After a day outdoors—whether snowmobiling, skiing, or exploring the snowy landscape—guests can warm up inside the Fire Hall and support two vital community organizations.

Bring friends. Bring cash for extra tickets. And bring your appetite.

Because in the Adirondacks, even a meat raffle comes with heart.
