RAFFLE TO SUPPORT TEXAS EXTENSION & PECAN RESEARCH

Some of the speakers at this conference will directly benefit from this raffle. The grand prize is a commemorative bolt-action 93R17 BVSS rifle, engraved with the TPGA logo. We heard it makes a great squirrel deterrent! Ticket sales will be limited to 300 tickets for $25 each. Buy four tickets, you get the fifth free. You do not need to be present to win.
