The 6th Annual Ohio Swap Meet and Minnow Fund Raffle was a complete success! Thanks to all who supported the event and made it a great time! We had donors coming out of the woodwork to help this great cause! Our raffle table easily rivaled any ever assembled in Muskie History! It was truly impressive! The generosity of all who attended was evident at the end of the night!
Last years event raised $1281.00 in the short 2.5 hrs we sold raffle tickets. We were very happy with that number. Our only goal this year was to beat last years total. After all the money was counted we found that the previous figure had been shattered! Before our drawing on Saturday night, former chapter 41 president, Rob VanGorder said a few words about how important the Minnow Fund really is to the state of Ohio. This year our supporters contributed $2473.00 in a short 2.5 hour time, that will be donated directly to the ODNR Minnow Fund!
We had more help this year than in years past. More help with setup and operating the beverage and ticket sales. Most importantly we had an overwhelming amount of HIGH QUALITY donations for the raffle tables. There was a lot of tremendous artistry showcased in the donations over the weekend! I thought the paint was going to be worn off the custom, one of a kind Boss Shads and Hammer Lures! People couldn't stop picking them up! Ron Fisher donated a brand new 12" Headlock that got a lot of attention! The Ohio Huskie Muskie Club donated a one-of-kind Ed Latiano crankbait that helped tremendously with ticket sales! Rick Lundstrom donated a set of his indestructible planer boards that kept people around til the end of the drawing! I wish I could showcase everyone's donations but those are several that really stand out in my mind.

There are many people to thank so I will get started:

- Angie Klafta for selling ALL the raffle tickets!
- Ross Wagner for donating some of the beer
- Ben Woitas for helping set up the tables before the event
- Jen Martinez, Rena Goldberg and Brenda Woitas for taking beer donations
- Mike Money for financing the bulk of the beer purchase
