Fundraising at the Festival

It costs money to put on the Festival and we're trying to keep admission prices as low as possible, so we continue to look for other sources of revenue. Of course, we gladly accept donations (see Sponsors and Donors for information on how to donate and 2022 donors for a list of this year's contributors), but we also do a couple of raffles at the Festival.

Raffle

Be sure to bring some cash to the Festival; you won't want to miss your chance to win one of these great raffle prizes.

Head to the Feedback/Raffle Table and buy (lots of) tickets. Tickets are $3 each, 4 for $10, or 10 for $20. Put your tickets in the containers for the prizes you want to win. You may put your tickets in one or more containers. For example, if you want the banjo, put all your tickets in the banjo container. If you’d like a chance at all the prizes, put one or more tickets in each container. Purchase tickets by 5:30 pm. Raffle winners will be chosen prior to the sing-along at the Albuquerque Journal Theatre around 6:00 pm. Winners need not be present and will be notified by phone or email (please write clearly). Thanks for your support! All the proceeds provide needed funding for our non-profit Festival, and possibly an exciting, big win for you as well!

List of Raffle Items

• Quilt: Trylla Esherick has been a prolific quilter for many years and a longtime supporter of the Albuquerque Folk Festival. As our past Arts and Crafts manager, she was instrumental in bringing local craft guilds to present hands-on crafting at the festival. This quilt is the third and last quilt made from musical themed fabrics donated by Dave Firestine of the band ÒSteam!Ó and famed leader of Carp Camp.
• Custom tenor Aida banjo donated by Stan Burg of Guitar Vista: Aria Tenor Archtop Banjo with gold hardware and intricate inlay.
• Lion King tickets: Popejoy Hall Wednesday, October 25th at 7:30pm. There will be three pairs of tickets available to win.
• More quilts: Created and donated by Ruby Hunyady, another prolific quilter of 20 years. For the pleasure of doing it and giving to friends and organizations, she makes all her quilts by hand. Ruby started quilting after coming down with a debilitating disease as a way to live more fully. Ruby donated eleven beautiful quilts. Wow! We are honored. WeÕll make some available this year and hold some for next yearÕs raffle.

Feedback Drawing

You can win a t-shirt and possibly other goodies, just for giving us your opinion. We really value your feedback, and will draw a few feedback forms for prizes (assuming you've provided contact information).
