How the Raffle Will Work

Hi All,I have some interesting news about the upcoming raffle! We've had some new items donated that will be used to create an exciting raffle game for those attending the raffle in person. Here is how it will now work:

For a mere $5, Homeward Trails will be raffling off great prizes, such as gift certificates to restaurants and local merchants. Homeward Trails will have additional prizes that are not part of the regular raffle, but can be selected for an additional donation (amounts will be indicated next to these prizes beforehand).
Here's an example of how it works: The first prize announced is a $50 gift certificate to Curry Auto, and a raffle number is drawn. If the person who bought this raffle ticket is not in attendance, the winning raffle ticket is taped to the Curry Auto Gift Certificate and set aside for that person.

The next prize announced is a gift basket, and a number is drawn. The person holding the winning ticket, Pat, is in attendance. Pat now gets the choice to take the gift basket, or for an additional donation, Pat can trade the gift basket for different item which is not part of the regular raffle prizes. Pat loves the gift basket and decides to keep it.

The third prize announced is a collection of coffees, and the number is drawn. Fred has the winning number. Fred really wants the $50 gift certificate for the sports bar (which is not part of the regular raffle prizes) . He sees for an additional donation of $20, he can trade up to the sports bar gift certificate. Fred trades in the collection of coffees, along with a $20 donation, and takes the gift certificate for the sports bar. Fred is very happy and the collection of coffees goes back into the pool of regular raffle prizes.

The raffle will continue in this manner, with the last regular raffle prize of the night being the Capitals tickets! We think this will make for a very exciting raffle, as well as raise even more donations for our very worthy dogs! If you want to be a part of the fun, please join us on December 3rd at Mister Days Sports Rock Cafe from 6-9pm. Thank you for your support and generosity!
