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 Band Scramble at the Courtyard Stage 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!
