In my defense, we gave out more raffle items than any CCA, DU or Delta Waterfowl event I have been to (maybe not Delta, it would be close). No knock on any of these organizations by the way, I am members of all three and enjoy all of their banquets and plan to attend every year. I think it is a fine line, a two hour raffle might not be a good thing. One thing I did want to do was make sure every kid at the event went home with something

Also guys I know I did not get to speak to all of you, I apologize for that. Once I arrived at the event and had everything set up, the rain came in very quickly. Once the rain started, I had a hard enough time just trying to keep things half way organized and decide if we were even going to be able to have a trophy presentation. Plus with my wife being out of town, I had to try and keep an eye out for my kids every now and then.

I am very thankful to those of you that stayed, I thought the atmosphere after the rain was great, it was adhoc and we made it work.

No need for apologies. You and the mods put on a heck of a tourney.

I think you guys are right, I should have given the rods away one at a time, noted for next year.

BlueChip and his crew did an awsome job with the food, I went back for leftovers and he said "sorry, they killed it all, none left".
