No need to turn something so simple into major production. A simple cheap trophy to the winner. Bring a dish from home for lunch. This is about the fight against the mlpa, not a bling thing for the entrants. 98 % of all monies to go to the cause.

or 99.9% goes to the cause...(simple cheap trophy...$50?, which would be the entrance fee for one guy...)

Sweeeeet.....someone else voted for this choice set by Paul...

Let's do something else instead. Topless kayak wash anyone?

I think a potluck is a great idea, I have been to 2 of the Baytubers events, and it worked out well, no, great. Especially nice was how everyone felt part of the vibe since they pitched in. I also think bringing gear you don't use for a raffle is a great idea, with all monies donated to the cause, and maybe allow those that sell things related to kayak/spearing to partake as well.

Awarding the winner a trophy is absurd. They are not made of silver anymore, and all you can do is put them on a desk, a mantle, wherever. A plaque framed in wood would be better, just my opinion, or 2 centavos.
Cost would be roughly the same, and a tradition would be carried on for the next event.

As mentioned, a raffle is a grand idea for the fact that you would have to buy extra tickets to increase your odds with the profits from the tickets going straight to the fund. I can recall someone buying 100 raffle tickets at the Sammons tourney and getting skunked...won't mention names, you know who you are...And, if you don't want/need what you won, pass it along, (karma) let someone else get a shot.

By the way, Clay wants to be the 9th entrant, since he's 9...Paul, appease him...he may donate some of his Bakugans towards the cause...
I'm sure there are some fathers/uncles who have 7, 8, or 9 year olds who can't do without Bakugans...

I will be donating some items for a raffle, and will throw in a surprise for those who have quilters in the family.
