Football, dinner and raffles......

8:33 am - Sunday - September 15th - LPG&RVR - 53° F, humidity 51%, wind 3 mph out o of the north by northwest......partly cloudy today with a forecast high of 66° F.  On this date in 2012 TLE and I were in Cheyenne, WY having lunch at 'Shadows Pub & Grill'.....


 I watched a lot of college football Saturday, because I could.  Most games were pretty one sided as is often the case early in the season, but there was one between LSU and South Carolina that went down to the last field goal attempt, which South Carolina missed.  For the first time this summer I did not participate in the weekly putting contest.  

Around 5 pm we headed into Likely for the annual Volunteer Fire Department dinner/raffle.  The donation per person for dinner (large Rib Eye steak, baked potato, salad, dessert) is $30, plus we bought a dozen raffle tickets, and 8 separate raffle tickets for the 3 grand prizes....1) a scoped rifle, 2) a $200 gift certificate, and 3) a $100 gift certificate.  It must have been our day, we won a rifle case with one of the dozen raffle tickets, a shot gun sleeve, and two extremely large Margarita glasses with our meal tickets, and the $200 gift certificate.....I really wanted that rifle....at least I've got something the case.....



The rifle case will hold two 'scoped' rifles

....we were home a little after 7 pm with our spoils.  By the way, the Rib Eye steaks (donated by local cattlemen) were delicious!  All of the local cattle are grass fed.

Thanks for stopping by!
