Site Admin Ron Dudelston preps the tickets for the big drawing. The first name draw got their choice of either a #62 Wood River plane donated by HandyDan or a mid size detailing tool donated by Easy Wood Tools and being held by the IrishWoodCarver.

IrishWoodCarver was the winner of a mid size retailer donated by Easy Wood Tools.  His wife Louann drew out his ticket from the Bandit’s boonie hat.  There were witnesses too.
