JohnR, I suggest that the raffle winners be organized like the Hab's raffle where the item is randomly selected prior to calling the number.
This will acknowledge the donor and sponsor for their generous contribution thereby promoting their company. Also it will give better odds of the nicer prizes for everyone.

Will that be quick enough? The raffle takes an hour as it is

Even if it takes a longer time say 20% that is only 12 minutes. The benefits outweigh the additional time after all if it wasn't for the donors it would not be possible. Something to think about anyway.

Might actually be quicker, less people shopping the table when the number is called

We won't see . I would make more money NOT doing this website - really. Besides, beer gets no cheaper than at the VFW hall.

Ross you sure that you can find your way to Fairhaven all this distance from home to a bar? Oh I forgot, its just down the street from a strip joint.

Does your vehicle fit a table for ten? Is it long enough to carry surf rods internally

Tell you what Bobby, if I hit Powerball between now and then, first three hours are on me. Or we might rent a jet and party in Key West.
