Marmaduke's Raid

[rkg]

Just a reminder to all who are coming to Marmaduke's Raid that there will be a preservation raffle on Sunday as the event closes. Tickets can be purchased at registration check in. There are some very good prizes to be won, and as always the main reason of preservation. The money will go to a good cause in the preservation of Ft. Benton in Patterson.
If you are not attending this event, you can still donate to the preservation of this fort by going on to the event web site, and donating through the pay-pall account on the registration page. Thanks,

Friend, Robert,
Don't let us late-comers languish! Please set aside five tickets for me -- I'm not greedy, only 3 or 4 of them have to be winners -- and I'll have a ten-spot with me in the parking lot. Problem is I "probably" won't get to the marina landing until all the bully boys in blue have marched off and only mossbacks and non-Union men will be between me and the fort.
Will this be a problem? Can I buy tickets at the end of the event (assuming I don't lose the rest of my scrip/chits to the chuck-a-luck gamers or sutlery pies)?
Obliged,
Paul Hadley

Hi Paul,
I can set 5 tickets aside for you, but I sure hope there is a flurry of ticket sales at the end of the event as well. I would hope we could sell more at the end before we pull the winners. What do you think Frank???
Also, did I leave anyone out who is donating goods for the raffle?
Thanks to all,

I believe it would help a lot to also offer them after the event, pre-drawing. We have some folks coming in late and this saves the 'hold them' or 'get me some' scrambles.

Just a suggestion.

Jay I agree with you. At the end of the event we will sell tickets just before the drawing. If you get in late and are not able to get them pre-event. You can get them at the end, pre-drawing.
