Basket raffle

I know, I know - it has been forever since I posted a picture. I have been so swamped that I have not remembered to grab the camera!

Arlington and I spent the day at our local town's fireman's muster. Our local town's fire department turned 100 years old. Pretty amazing. It was fun. I had a booth there and sold raffle tickets for our upcoming basket raffle and we had a little game. We made $430 for our fund just in those few hours. Baskets were REALLY popular today!

So - I figured now I have all the information on all the baskets that we are giving away, so I am going to post their pictures and info here tonight. If you are coming to the race, you can buy basket raffle tickets that day. You can write a check to the RDH12 Fund for Sight or you can bring cash.

If you CAN'T come to the race, but want to buy tickets, you can! Take a look at the baskets here, and you can email me at rdh12@rdh12.org and I can talk you through the details. Or you can go online to our online registration and JUST get basket raffle tickets and pay with your credit card. Same thing - once I get your basket raffle payment, I will contact you and you can tell me what baskets you want the tickets in. :) We can get the basket to you - anywhere!

Here is the online registration area for tickets: BASKET RAFFLE.

So - we have separated the raffle into two parts this year. We have a SILVER and a GOLD raffle. In the Silver raffle, we have the most baskets. These baskets go for $2/ticket, $5/6 tickets, or $20/25 tickets. The Gold raffle are our biggest items, so these baskets go for $5/ticket, $40/10 tickets.

First, SILVER RAFFLE
