Our raffle would never be a success without your help.

The 1st place winner for a Hand Carved Sunburst Mirror is Ability Consultants, CO; the 32 inch TV with 3 year warranty is Louis Chavez from La Plata, New Mexico; 3rd place was a 3/8 drill and 17 piece drill bits when to JUDY, the carved wooden bear went to Ashley Craft; the 2-gal.
