I've added a few more door prizes to the list and will continue to update as more "loot" comes in. Keep an eye on the show website for future updates - I'll have more to add this coming week.

I do want to explain why I prefer to just give these items away via door prizes. Some of you have mentioned that you thought it would be nice to raffle items off and then give the money to charity or keep it to use for this website. Nothing wrong with that, but there are 2 important reasons that I'd rather not turn it into a raffle: First, I want everyone to have the same chance to win regardless of how deep their pockets might be. Second, I'd rather have the attendees spending their money with the vendors downstairs instead of with me, buying raffle tickets.

So, like last year, everything will be given away at the RodMaker Reception. Nothing to buy. Everybody gets a ticket - you can win once, that's all. The largest and most expensive items will go first so that everybody is in the hunt.

Following is the list of door prizes to be given away at the RodMaker Reception on Saturday Evening. Admission is free. Nothing to buy. Come eat our food and drink our drinks and win one of these fantastic prizes!

Amazing! For those of you who didn't get to attend last year it was a top notch event and no doubt this year will be even better.
