Raffle Begins!

Our fundraiser, raffle for a gun safe, is off and going! We set the safe in the window of the future Farm Bureau building for all to see. Tickets are 1 for $5 or 3 for $10. We had a great start at the Rodeo parade, thank you Clint and Jessica Wilcox for volunteering your time to sit at a table and sale tickets.

We also had a pickup, with a beautiful sewn YF&R sign - Thank you Kay, in the parade with Daniel, Kay, Nicole, Rylee, Abbey, Sydney and Reed throwing candy.

We have some new ideas for fundraisers and getting our name out in the community. I put a write up in the e-news and Farivew Republican, introducing who we were and our first fundraiser. We are going to set up booth at the County Fair in August and also host a pig wrestling contest, which Don Voth has offered to help us do. We will be charging (maybe) $50 for a team of 4, with $25 going into the winning jackpot of the team with the quickest time, and $25 going to us. We need to get word out, and get you a team together.

We are trying to get our name out, so if you know of anything going on that we could volunteer out time, or donate supplies or money, please let out President or anyone in the group know.
