Wow, I can't believe you guys got to 23 posts on this hybrid issue without anyone referring to the wisdom of Trey Parker and Matt Stone in South Park episode 1002. But then again we South Park watchers are that much ahead of the curve. farrrrrt, whiffffff, Ahhhhhh!

Tickets are now available from the Oldman River Chapter of Trout Unlimited here in Lethbridge for our Winter Raffle 2009/2010. There are some great prizes to be won. First Prize: Daytona Homes has donated a 9’ Water Skeeter - River Tamer Pontoon Boat. A very nice boat - thanks Murray. Second Prize: An Orvis “T3” 8wt, 4pc, 9ft Fly Rod (TU Canada Donated) with TFO Prism reel ( RBC Royal Bank Donated ). Third Prize : St.Croix “Legend Ultra” SCIV 4wt, 4pc, 8 1/2ft custom made Fly rod ( It's being built in my basement ) with TFO Prism reel ( RBC Royal Bank Donated ). Tickets are $5.00 each. One thousand tickets are printed. We will use the proceeds to further our work on our lease holds along the Crowsnest River and other projects. The draw will take place on February 16th at the Chapters monthly meeting at the ATCO building. These are great stocking stuffers. ( It would take one heck of a big sock for the pontoon boat ). The prize value is very high for $5000 worth of tickets. Get a hold of a TU Oldman River Chapter member to buy them. If you would like a book of 10 ( or 2 books or 3 books......) to sell, get a hold of me at 403-315-1912. Raffle licence number is 288266. Rules are these tickets are to be sold to people 18 years and older and only sold in Alberta. Thanks so much. Peter

Thanks for the link Clive. We're up to 123885

No, but I know a couple of big local cowboys who know where you live. Sorry you couldn't come to the conclave and banquet last night. I know you would have enjoyed it. I also realize that you have helped TU on other fronts such as the internet auction so your help is much appreciated. Bedankt Peter
