Convention Raffle- Looking for Prize Donations

apparentgenius · 01-05-2006, 08:42 PM

Hi Everyone,

Rod, Skein and I are pitching in to organize the raffle.

Rod will be working with the vendors to get some big prizes, Skein will be managing ticket sales at the armory and the Elks. Thanks Jim and Rod

This years major charity is yet to be determined. We'll give a portion of the proceeds to Ifish and to the RFA.

If you'd like to donate a prize, please post your pledge here. It doesn't have to be big, just a clone or two if you like. We'll group a few of the smaller prizes together like last year. No need to send the prize, just make a pledge and bring it to the Elks before the afternoon session. Skein will have a table set up to receive the prize dontations.

To start things off, Seasquid has donated two tickets to an OSU basketball game

Thanks Steve.

What type of prize donations are you looking for? Fishing stuff, hunting stuff??

apparentgenius · 01-05-2006, 08:57 PM

Outerlimits,

Fishing related stuff would probably be best.

Thanks,

glen

I will kick it off with a brand new in box gold Avet LX reel.

Mr. Fisherman · 01-05-2006, 11:08 PM

Bait O' Eggs · 01-06-2006, 07:03 AM

I will donate a bag of swimbaits.

Wouldnt it be easier to justs post Hoggemans address and send them direct to him??

(what color do you want Mike?

)

apparentgenius · 01-06-2006, 09:54 AM

Thanks Roy,

I was thinking Hoggemin could donate a bunch of stuff. It would really only be a loan since he would win most of it back

Bait O' Eggs · 01-06-2006, 08:02 PM

This pile will be a single raffle item.

I might put together another matching bag.

Lets see some more donations of prizes,

Hoggeman can use the equipment on his next long range trip out of SanDiego

HOGGEMIN · 01-06-2006, 08:39 PM

Hey guys this is very funny ..............

Now I might have to spend a bunch of money to keep up my winning streak...............

X a couple hundred.

skein · 01-06-2006, 08:47 PM

It's not easy being a legend, is it, Mike. I wonder how many guys are going to make their families sleep in the car that weekend so they can channel the $73 motel money toward raffle tickets?

Skein

Mark Mc · 01-06-2006, 10:17 PM

Last year I did 4 bags of swimbaits, + some tuna clones....so I'll do something similar again. Plus some salmon gear....like a box of 6 new Tomic plugs. So count me in for at least 5 "goodie bags."

Onokai · 01-07-2006, 09:29 AM

I will donate a one of a kind ceramic fish art piece like one of these fish . This was my wall of fish in Anacortes Washington last year. I may have a few tuna mugs made by then as well to donate. Mark

Mark Mc · 01-07-2006, 10:20 AM

Beautiful stuff Mark.....You are an inspiration to me....a true artist and a true fisherman packaged in one person.

eightball · 01-09-2006, 11:08 AM

I will donate a yo-zuri diver. All tied up and ready to use.

Cloud-Nine · 01-09-2006, 11:25 AM

Freakwater

tracker · 01-09-2006, 03:53 PM

Well I am not sure anyone will want them but I can bundle a DVD and T-Shirt.

spinnergal · 01-09-2006, 06:59 PM

glen, my husband & I would like to offer a prize for the raffle, maybe a 2 night stay at the cutest litte fishing cabin in Depoe Bay (little being the operative word) its 1 room that has sleeping, cooking, dining in a very comfy, cozy atmosphere that exclaims fishing at every turn & has all the amenities one might need-this is where we put up our "fishing friends" and it is not a rental. We have our own HR coach on the lot where we stay. Its just a couple minute walk to the docks but not a lot of room for parking (say, for a large boat??) but possibly could work something out-very quiet & a real retreat!! perfect for someone looking at a charter trip to book or just a get away with their sweetie.
Anyway-think we might have some trustworthy takers? :smile:
It has 1 queen fouton & 1 upper bunk so can sleep 2-3 & we'd be open to guests most anytime-weekdays or weekends

Ya think? Mike, just how many hats are you wearing, anyway? 4 or 5? maybe we should make it a Ready Set contest!

hrspowr · 01-10-2006, 05:28 PM

I have a few items to add.....

I will offer up 40 2oz and 40 2 1/2oz shad head jigs with 7/0 saltwater hooks (proven last year to catch TUNA! with swimbaits) Divide them up as you see fit.

Also, my store (Lincoln City Safeway) will donate a certificate good for 200 pounds of ICE!

Very impressive donations!!!!!!!

We may need to hire a security guard and armored car to protect all these valuable gifts.

I am trying to come up with something and do my part, however, I can not compete at this level, but will donate what I can. How about 3 12OZ bags of gourmet coffee beans to keep some Salty Dog awake at the wheel on his way to fishin. Will coffee work for a raffle item?

(please do not take the security gaurd comment to mean that I do not trust the SD gang, because I do, with my life. It is my attempt at a humorous way of saying how valuable all the donations are.)

skein · 01-11-2006, 06:53 AM

Awww, Dan, I don't think we need security guards until someone donates some gasoline.

And coffee beans work just fine, thank you. "Just a pinch between the cheek and gum...."

SKSPAWNER · 01-12-2006, 09:51 AM

Rod: I'll get a couple of cash cards from my "Big Box Store" employer. If the big Igloos come in, I'll try to get a couple of those, too!

Cloud-Nine · 01-12-2006, 06:39 PM

Where is the collection point for the items donated?
When do you want them delivered?
Dick

puffins crew · 01-13-2006, 02:15 PM

I have a very good buddy in the wood business, and he is willing to donate a case or two of cedar grilling planks.

They are packaged in shrink wrap, two boards each with instructions and a great recipe.

Peace, Tom

apparentgenius · 01-17-2006, 07:24 PM

Bajadan2000--
I really love the coffee idea, I like the flavored stuff, but I realize some folks have a hard time calling it coffee.
anyway-I think its a great idea.

puffins crew · 01-18-2006, 06:57 PM

Hello Glen,

"Just talked to Jon, aka "Puffin". He is computer challenged these days and he asked me to contact you.

He will donate a near shore/rockpile fishing trip aboard his boat for one person to add to the raffle prize list."

This is the PM that I sent to Glen for Puffin. Who ever wins this raffle ticket is in for a great day on the ocean!

Peace, Tom

spinnergal · 01-18-2006, 07:00 PM

Oh, please-just let it be me
