Tickets are available at the West First Street branch of Pathfinder Bank in Oswego or by calling 315-297-7802. Cost is $30 for players or $15 to attend. Light snacks are included, and a cash bar will be available.
Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the competition will begin at 7 p.m. The Elks Lodge is at 132 W. Fifth St. in Oswego.
Blessings in a Backpack provides weekend food to hundreds of needy elementary schoolchildren in Oswego and Fulton. The Episcopal Church of the Resurrection on West First Street sponsors the Oswego program, with assistance from many other organizations, including Grace Lutheran Church.
