Getting a lot of nice prizes coming in just before the banquet. Custom calls, rounds of golf at TPC. It's going to be a good time.

I was there...............it was a fun time,........too bad they could raffle the Browning Gold........

Hellow Wooduck, I agree. Thought that gun, with the option of exchange for store credit, would have sold it out.

Anyone got suggestions on how to sell out a gun board? At a banquet, it should be the 'draw' gamble. Odds of 1 in 100- guaranteed!

The rest is all a variable. Any insights.

FYI, I was one of the 'setter-uppers' and an curious on how to make it better.

Ahh, planning ahead. I may have to get the gambling permit more than a week in advance!

Thanks Maddie, I'll add it to the list!

Well i spent too much money at the bar, if you give a free drink with each ticket sold, it wil sell out quick.
