Some will be present however that list has not been finalized. Also, this is not a commercial event per se so the sponsors in attendance will not be there in trade show mode. Contact them directly if you would like them to bring something to the event for you.
Seriously! We take great pride in shopping with sponsors that are willing to give back to the community they serve!

Nice! Looks like good stuff!
I've pretty much accepted that it's a global economy, if the product meets my needs I don't particularly care where it was made. Having said that, I will never understand how something as heavy as cast iron can be made in Japan and shipped across the Pacific Ocean cheaper than it can be made in the US.

How can it not be fair? We put tickets in a jar and someone pulls them out - luck of the draw.
What's not fair about that???

It's not fair when you pick the prize after you see who has the winning ticket, which is what it looked like to me on a few draws.

I can't tell if you're serious or just busting Dave's chops, but I've been to several Mountain and Desert Rendezvous' and have never observed this.
I can certainly see how that may have looked like that happened inadvertantly a couple times because there are several people doing the draw, handing out prizes, etc and they are not pros at conducting a drawing. If you knew Dave and the others, you would never question this, as their ethics (in my view) are beyond reproach. It is interesting that some will question the way free (donated) items are given away for free. I doubt anyone involved in the raffle took anything home.

Everything is Donated there is no reason to not be fair .
Dave has done so much for all of Us that I hope You are just kidding.
Him and all the people that help put this together work really hard.
Also if I never win anything at the Raffle ,I already won by being there.
