I think your right Im getting older but I also know that I will never be younger than I am right now .. I got it confused with Dodge City.. I think I came in late with Gary & Guy .. Now you got me thinking are you sure there wasnt this great looking guy in a cowboy hat .. yep that was me..
Just because that's when it starts, doesn't really mean it's going to end any sooner! Get there when you can!:)Quote:

MAN! I am gonna have to buy a shelf to put all the hoods on that I am gonna bribe....er,...Win! :D
OK, since I haven't been to a NAFEX dinner that had a raffle, how does it work? Are there groups of tickets for each item sold that we buy or do we just buy a bunch of tickets and they all go into one big pot and they start pulling a ticket for each item until all the items are gone? And how much are the tickets? I need to know if I need to sell some of my Lowe's stock before I leave this Friday! :eek: :D
Since yer the newbie, you buy the tickets and we all get one! See how that works??:eek::DQuote:

The actual member decided his own fate with winning so no one thinks its rigged or any favors are being done.
Again this is 100% free raffle! I do not make one red cent. I put this together every year to foster camaraderie amongst falconers. I hope to help take away those wedges that seem to be driven between us at times... Good luck and see you all soon

Chris, I put down me and a guest as I am riding to the meet with an old time falconer from GA. Will he get a ticket? His apprentice is on NAFEX but he barley knows how to turn on a computer. LOLQuote:

I put a lot of hard work and time in this to give my thanks back to those who make this forum what it is. It's my way of showing my appreciation for such a great community. Plus all the people who donated to the Raffle are showing their appreciation for NAFEX and it really isn't right giving free stuff away to those who don't make the community what it is. NAFEX would not be here if it wasn't for the members who post and participate on the forum.
Now if I charged for the raffle then anyone could be in it and I would not have to be so restrictive on who can participate. And yes I do ask and look at names on NAFEX to make sure the people are members and are active. I have told a few in the past that they cannot have a ticket.
Not sure if the above came out like I wanted it to, I hope you get what I am trying to say... I didn't want to sound mean or off at all. I am just looking to take care of those who take care of the great resource we all enjoy using.
No problem, I will just help him join NAFEX when he gets to my house on Thursday! LOL :DQuote:
