Brian:

Are you accepting any additional tool or raffle items? If so, I would be interested in donating a tool that could be used for a Stovebolt project or perhaps a gift certificate to one of the aftermarket truck suppliers. Let me know if I can help. If not, let me know when the raffle tickets go on sale and how much and I will participtate by purchasing some tickets. Best of luck with your event.

Tony and anyone else,
Yes we are accepting Tool/Gift certifacate donations. This years prize list isn't as big as I would like but there are still alot of venders that I need to send letters too. If anyone has a suggestion of a company that I should contact about donating, or you know someone that would be interested in donating or helping to sell tickets please email me at [email protected]

We will post the Prizes on the website like we did last year in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks

STORE manager. Home Depot has a fund perstore that they have to spend every years on the comunity.

Thank you all for your support!

Sincerely,

What about the Super Bass-o-matic? Anyone donating one of those?
Looking forward to buying some tickets.

Sorry mugsy but I am not familiar with the "Bass-o-matic", now the "sledge-o-matic" I have heard of. That reminds me I should send Galager a letter,( I wonder what a sledge-o-matic goes for now days?)

"That's some fine bass" - Dan Akroyd, Saturday Night Live

The Bass-o-Matic 76! Now you can use the WHOLE BASS!

Brian, just kidding around...you know I'll be in for a few tickets!

I knew somebody'd remember that! Good stuff.

I will take a wild guess and say that was made by RONCO?????

Super Bass-o-matic '76

Spokesman.....Dan Aykroyd
Bass-Drinker.....Laraine Newman


Spokesman: How many times has this happened to you? You have a bass, and you're trying to find an exciting new way to prepare it for the dinner table. You could scale the bass, remove the bass' tail, head and bones, and serve the fish as you would any other fish dinner. But why bother, now that you can use Rovco's amazing new kitchen tool, the Super Bass-o-Matic '76. Yes, fish-eaters, the days of troublesome scaling, cutting and gutting are over, because Super Bass-o-Matic '76 is the tool that lets you use the bass with no fish waste, and without scaling, cutting or gutting.

Here's how it works: Catch a bass, remove the hook, and drop the bass - that's the whole bass - into the Super Bass-o-Matic '76. [ drops the bass into the blender ] Now, adjust the control dial so that the bass is blended just the way you like it. [ turns blender on and grinds it to a pulp ] Yes, it's that simple!

Bass-Drinker: [ drinks a glassful of bass ] Wow, that's terrific bass!

Spokesman: We've got fish here, fast and easy and ready to pour, mmm-mmm! Super Bass-o-Matic '76 comes with ten interchangeable rotors, a nine-month guarantee, and a booklet: 1,001 Ways to Harness Bass. Super Bass-o-Matic '76 works great on sunfish, perch, sole, and other small aquatic creatures. [ blends one of each ]

Super Bass-o-Matic '76 - it's clean, simple, and after five or ten fish, it gets to be quite a rush! Super Bass-o-Matic '76 - you'll never have to scale, cut or gut again!
