Fiddle & Gift Certificate Raffle

To help raise money for our Annual October Fiddle & Banjo Contest, we are having a Winner's Choice Raffle for either a Vintage Fiddle or a $100 Bluegrass Shack Gift Certificate (for merchandise, not lessons). We do not make a profit from any of our contests (in fact, we usually lose money). This helps us pay for prizes ($1000 in cash & trophies this year) and judges. We hope that you'll be interested in our raffles and have fun promoting bluegrass music in the process.

The cost of the tickets are a donation of $1.00 each, or six for $5.00. You do not need to be present to win. Winner will be drawn on October 27, 2007, at L&Bs Eastend during the fiddle & banjo contest. You can get your raffle tickets at The Bluegrass Shack or at L&Bs on the day of the contest. If you are not from around these parts and would like to make a donation, please feel free to contact Chris at The Bluegrass Shack at 618-475-3678 or by e-mail.

Here is a picture of the fiddle (complete with old case) that will be raffled. If you click on the picture, it will enlarge.



This instrument was made in Germany, and has a spruce top with flamed maple back & sides, new bridge, new strings, new metal tailpiece with four built-in fine tuners, and new ebony tuning pegs. It is approximately 100 years old and has been completely restored. It is ready to play!

If you choose The Bluegrass Shack Gift Certificate, you can use this for any merchandise in our shop, excluding lessons and consignment items.
