A Quilt with a Story to Tell
This beautiful quilt was handcrafted by Mary Blair, Esther Borte's daughter, and was originally created for the 2018 Esther Borte Walk in the Park quilt raffle. That year, Tammy Stanton, Mary's daughter and Esther's granddaughter, was the lucky winner.
Following Tammy's passing a few years ago, the family has generously chosen to donate the quilt back to the raffle in memory of both Tammy and Esther. Their hope is that this special quilt can continue its journey, creating new memories while helping support another year of the event that means so much to their family and our community.
This quilt has come full circle, from being raffled in 2018, to being cherished by Tammy, and now returning to the community as a tribute to two women whose memories continue to inspire those who knew them.
Raffle Tickets are $10 each.
The winning ticket will be drawn during the Esther Borte Walk in the Park on September 12, 2026, at Kemp Olson Memorial Park.
A heartfelt thank you to the Borte family for sharing this treasured piece of family and event history. We are honored to help carry Esther's legacy forward and keep this tradition alive for another year.
Registration is now open. We hope you'll join us for this special community tradition!
