Raffle Tickets: A One and a Two and a Three and a.....

Tap, tap, tapping... The Spaniard was at the drawing board, trying to decipher the diagrham for assembly of a Whurlizer music box, so for the moment all was quiet within the building where he worked, quiet enough for him to hear the tapping, coming from the direction of the door. Someone there? He vacated his stool in favor of opening the door to see, the windows still be covered from the inside, so no one could see...yet. But no one was there. Puzzled, he stepped outside, which is when he noticed a large and colorful poster attached to the outer edge of the doorjam.

Yes, he'd have to purchase some tickets. Back at the drafting table, he dashed off a letter, and would deliver it to Kruger's mail slot at the Red Dragon Inn later on in the evening. It would say:

My dear friend,

I trust this finds you well and busy. I won't hazard a guess as to happy, well and busy sometimes in and of themselves are sufficient to give birth to the third.

The purpose of my hastily composed and I am sorry to say almost illegible letter (so many horses, so little time!) is to buy my raffle tickets for the Save the Small Business Carnival, lest the time arrive and I have forgotten! So, without further adeiu:

The Boar's Nest Tavern & Bakery A family picnic basket with sandwiches and side items, with freshly baked pies and desserts from The Boar's Nest Tavern & Bakery Buying five tickets for a chance on this. It will be perfect for our next family outing, Maddy won't have to cook!!!

The Imperial Grand Rhy'Din Hotel & Casino Two day, two night stay in an Imperial Grand suite, all room service provided as well as meals provided in the Temple restaurant, couple's massage from the Tranquility Day Spa, and $100 in chips for the casino Wish to buy five tickets for chances on this. Should make a perfect setting for a belated honeymoon for me and the wife, as we never really had a real one, since one or the other of us had always seemed to previously be in denial of our marital status.

House Demuer Exports A wide variety of the finest beer and wine from House Demuer Exports Would like two tickets for a chance on this. One can never have too much on hand.

And then, for the ladies, I would like one ticket on a chance of each of these, with the exception of the bracelet from Croi Teine Forge, I'd like 10 tickets for that!

The "project" is taking shape quite nicely, come by one evening, use the secret knock so that I know its you, and you can see for yourself!

By the way, my condolences on losing the Election. Apathy rules, I am afraid, or you might have stood a better chance. You had my vote, of course, and should you care to toss your hat sometime in the future, you will have it again!

My regards to the lovely Shai, I remain.... (signed) Antonio Sabatier

A request from Caroline Granger for a raffle ticket pertaining to all prizes - because, let's face it, where's the mystery in winning if you're only going for one or two to begin with' - arrives by the hand of one very puffed out courier.

AmTamiress Fashions A necklace and earring set of self-glowing aurora borealis crystals.

Magical Delights A set of self-playing singing crystals programmed with 10 songs from Magical Delights

Jamie let out a large sigh followed by a whiny wimper " Look at what!?" never looking up from the screen until she got shoulder bumped, quickly snapping her eyes to what King was pointing out.

" They had YOU at free food, don't act like it's about money! " Jamie's phone found its way into her front pockets as she read over the rest of the prize list, eyebrows perking up as she read over one option.

" I want the singing crystals! Let's both get one for each! "

Jamie purchased a ticket for The Imperial Grand Rhy'Din Hotel & Casino General Prize and the Magical Delights Feminine Prize

Hearing of the raffle, Ileen McGowan purchases tickets for each prize. Perhaps she'll get lucky this day. :twisted:

Not having much money to spare for raffle tickets, Johnny purchased two - one for the General Raffle in hopes of winning a trip to either night club, and one for the Feminine Raffle, hoping to win something nice for Liv.

The Baroness buys a Casino raffle ticket for King, following her victory in the rings.
