Check out the prize offered; I'm pretty sure people in Washington, Oregon or California would come unglued if this raffle were to occur at public schools in those States. It's nice to see that there are still some sane places in this Country of ours. Yep - on another note, they close school for opening day of deer season (on a Friday) because all the boys are out hunting with their Dads and families.

They had taken a survey and made a graph on the poster to display the results. There was one big poster on "Your favorite Gun" with a nice bar graph showing the results.

There is always going to be someone that raises a fuss. we recently did a fundraiser for afterprom - we had a casino night at the local moose - people still made a fuss. we do a spaghetti dinner and silent auction every fall before a football game to raise money for the marching band - people still made a fuss. I'll be glad when my kids are done with this stuff. Josh
