I also like the idea of a separate grand prize that folks could buy lots of raffle tickets if they desire. I do like limiting the ticket purchases on the main raffle, though - much fairer. As this was the first try at a fee-driven BF, we might consider a little higher fee structure to help raise funds in addition to paying expenses, without depending on the raffle. This, of course, requires the participation of as many members as possible to contribute more than "actual cost", for the benefit of OAUSA's future. I know many here would be willing, while some would need to be convinced of the long-term value.
The cook-off would be great, too - maybe even a dutch oven desert-off
It was a privilege to be able to donate prizes for the raffle, in order to benefit OAUSA and the members here. I plan to do it again next year, and hope to be joined by other sponsers as the site continues to grow...
. Who drove from the furthest to get there and other fun facts?
