Well John, it's pretty easy. Just have someone at the cookout to sell raffle tickets, and place the stubs in a box, can, jar, or what have you. That's it.
A lot of people will donate items they no longer want to keep to help with the raffle. At the end of the day someone randomly draws the winning raffle tickets from the box, and the folks that donated the prizes have the chance to win back the things they were trying to get rid of and all the money goes to you to help pay your out of pocket expenses, showing our support for you being such a nice guy for your selfless devotion of your time and energy to organize and put on an event dedicated to Treasure Hunting.
I hope we remember "Pegleg" who also made a a sacrificial effort to get Treasure Hunters together. Dell

O.K. looks like there is going to be a raffle. Start looking through the house, garage, shed, or boat for those things that are just taking up space and bring them to the raffle. A bottle of rum would likely sell a few tickets, a jar of home made jam, a silver bar, a gift card, a piece of jewelry, an old bottle or artifact you name it. your junk might be some one elses Treasure, and help support this event.
Trez, has already posted a special, one of a kind prize that some of my dollars are going to try to win.
Let us know if you are bringing items to donate to the raffle. I would like to try to win a used compass for my boat. hint, hint. Many Thanx. Dell
PETE, thanks for the Pegleg memory. If someone has his phone number, maybe we could get Pegleg's son to come to the cookout?

The crew of Booty Salvage will be there! I went last year but this year I have to send my crew. I will be in a fishing tournament out of Port Canaveral trying to catch that trophy Mahi-Mahi.

Jason,
I guess the raffle/auction will still be in swing by 4PM. I don't know. The live music will end at 3pm because he's got another gig at Disneyworld at 6pm. It's the Boom Box after that. You might want to send it along with somebody who can make it earlier. It would also be cool if you could make it earlier too.

Hey Everybody,
Deb and I are pre-boiling about ninety pounds of ribs right now. They'll be put over a hickory fire and BBQ'd Saturday. We'll also be bringing Bud and Bud Light. Her daughter Kristen will be bringing the Deviled eggs and FlaGal, will be preparing the Black Eyed Peas and Collards to go with Deb's Pork Roast.
I think Steve McAdoo is bringing something too.
We'd welcome the help from everybody that brought covered dishes last year and anything new! It was the shared dishes that really made the cookout a success in the past! We'll no doubt have a shortage of chairs, so please, if you can, bring a couple. I'm going to ask a few close friends to cover things like sodas and tea plus whatever else may be suggested. The plates, cups, napkins, tablecloths and such are already taken care of. The live entertainment will run from about 11:30 am 'till 3pm. After that, it's CD's on the Boom Box. A lot of you know me and if you have any questions, feel free to ask here, call, or PM me.
I know that I haven't covered all bases yet, so I'll keep updating until Thursday. After that, I'll be setting up at the Pennwood!

Quote from SteveMc: "John, as last year I can bring the sodas. I can bring some cole slaw too. I will bring everything for that, not made and make it at the site, it gets soggy if I was to make here and bring it there, fresh is best. Let me know aprox number of people to calculate both of those."
