Cindy DaSilva of Milford is the raffle winner at the Upper Mill. Her ticket was chosen by a customer at Mill Run Booksellers on Dec. 15. The winnings came the same day her stove broke down, so she said she was especially grateful that her ticket was picked. DaSilva proudly displays the gift certificates totaling $200 she won from: Giffard and White, Mill Run Booksellers, Denim or Lace, Waterwheel Café & Bar, Wild Meadow Flowers, Frugal Elegance, Heroes World, and An Eye for Details Photography.
