Tickets are $10.00 each.
Rifle raffle tickets are selling but not as fast as we would like.
Tickets are $10.00 each and can be purchased from me direct.
Our goal is to sell 1000 tickets.

If you would like to sell tickets just let Ken or Mary know how many you would like.
Tickets come in books of 10. Once the tickets are sold,
please return the stubs along with a check or money order.
We really need to get behind this raffle.

We will be offering another M1A rifle for 2026.
