RAFFLE AT TOLEDO BEND GATHERING

This year we are trying to start a new tradition at the gathering. We are going to have a raffle and donate the proceeds to a local charity. We came up with the Sabine Parish Senior Center as this year's recipient. This will not impact the freebie's passed out every year. I'm looking for people to donate anything boating or fishing or just anything. Does not have to be new, just good condition. I am donating a 12' BnM rod and a super duper minnow bucket. Randy has some items also and I heard something about some homemade jellies as well.We will take just about anything!! Please add your items to this post and I will make a log. Feel free to post a picture of the items. Then contact me before the Friday night dinner, so we can display the items and begin selling tickets. The tickets will be 2 for a dollar or 5 for 2 dollars and will be sold until the raffle at Saturday night's dinner. We will pull tickets then and let the winners pick whatever prize , until we run out. Hope to have fun with this. I just wanted to add, thanks to Ferdi for donating some items last year. This is where I got the idea. Danny

Bruce please sticky this.

OK Danny, I know I have some stuff that I will never use. I'll gather it up and let you know what I have.

I picked up a roll of the tickets at Walmart. They are the kind where you tear one off and hold the other. Roll is 2000, think that's enough? hahaha

I started looking around and pulling things out that I haven't looked at in years. Believe me, I have lots of stuff. We'll start with this:

Driftmaster rod holders off the old boat. SpyderLocks now, so don't need these:

Cabela's adjustable rod covers:

Garmin eTrex Legend, about six years old (forgot I had it):

Comes with everything. Topo map card, lake card, case, etc.:

More to follow. If you fellas have antique fishing stuff, metal signs, etc. - I'm into that. Big fun for a good cause.

That garmin is a heck of a prize. Thanks Randy.

Attachment 188577How 'bout this: My wife has taken the rattan furniture out of this room and made me store it in my man cave. I ask you...does this look like furniture appropriate for the man cave of testosterone-fueled adrenaline junkie who cheats death on a daily basis? OF COURSE NOT! But if I put it out on the curb she'll beat me up. So if you think it'll sell I'll ask her if she will let me bring it. It clashes with the boat and my tools...the feng shui in there now is just all messed up...Heck, I'll donate if y'all will just haul it away.

That's funny Tony. I think it looks good . Appreciate the offer, but since this is our first try lets stick to smaller or fishing items. Besides, no point bringing that up with your wife, just in case...

I think it is hiliarous when the old guys get the social media and the younger ones don't! lol Tal, a bump is something someone does on a thread to move it back up to the top or to show you, it has a post you haven't read yet. Thanks guys I needed a laugh after this week!:biggrin

Ha ha ha....thats funny lol

Are you going to bring some of your stash out of your shop G? I figure you have some cool stuff :)

Dunno....have to get out there and take a look. I might have some door prize stuff....I will take a look and see.

Eric Niver sent this to me for our gathering - Ozark Fishing. Very nice structure he has designed, I likes. It is all in the box, so didn't take it out. Here's the insert flyer:

very cool!!!!

Ok....looked though my shed for some raffle Items...I will be bringing
A Garmin fish finder
A 10 ft. BnM jig pole and reel
Two Shimano spinning reels
Some rod holders
A boat anchor

You guys need to dig around in your sheds and work shops....I know you can find some things you do not use anymore that somebody would like to have.

Okay, thanks G. We don't want it to get much bigger. Should be fun. But don't want it to take more than 20 minutes or so. Will sell tickets Friday night and Saturday. May need help monitoring while I'm fishing. I'm going to make a container for the tickets and money.

I have a couple of good used mushroom anchors, good for an aluminum boat.

Here's my contribution to the raffle. Made it today and thought it would make a nice memento for someone.

She is something else I tell you. Of course, I wouldn't tolerate otherwise :)

Very nice Ann, but I wonder who tolerates whom.

I got a pretty good idea :Rofl

I want to win that pillow. That will look nice in my camp or camper. Thanks Anne, for making it.
