Mrs. Bordokas was selected Sunday as the winner during a Valentine’s Day drawing at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8988 in Bishop.

In the true pay-it-forward fashion surrounding this festival, Mrs. Bordokas told organizers she will not be taking the trip herself. Rather, she is donating the trip to Eastern Sierra Disabled Sports.

It is her hope that Eastern Sierra Disabled Sports will hold a drawing among its hardworking staff and volunteers, and that the winner will be taking a well-earned break in the Mexican sunshine sometime soon.

Tickets for the July 22-23 Eastern Sierra Music Festival are on sale at the event’s website, WWMusicFest.org. As previously announced, country singer-songwriter Dwight Yoakam and the legendary Gatlin Brothers will headline the two-day event.

Additional artists will include Old Southern Moonshine Revival and a host of local bands.

Proceeds from the festival will benefit the construction of the National Wounded Warrior Center in Mammoth Lakes.
