I will also take advantage of the raffle to try to get another Newsome in my collection.

Well Louisiana winter is about as good as a Canadian summer half of the time! So box pleats are really good for me year-round. Besides, if it's too cold, I'm pulling out the Inverness cape in which case the extra kilt fabric won't really matter. :-)

Being said, I entered my $5 and am considering donating more to the Museum... I think that this is an EXCELLENT idea for the museum to raise money. I'm going to spread the word in my Caledonian Society and hopefully get a few more takers!

Maybe Matt should make sure my name gets drawn, then!

I'm in, but I usually don't win anything I enter....so no one fret about lil ole me.

Great idea, Matt! Here's to helping out the museum. Let's hope we are active enough to have you holding these raffles every year.

Hmmm, that time of year there are some good hatches on the Cullusaja River. I should plan for a fly fishing trip to coincide with picking up my winning ticket!
