2nd Win A
Alaska Adventure Sweepstakes *
Updated: June 2010

Three years ago we launched a campaign to raise $10,000 to build
a Running Boar Range at Friendship (see the September 2009 issue of Muzzle Blasts).

over $3,500 sponsored prizes for a 7 Day Alaska Adventure!

Tickets are $20 each -or- 6 for $100

The winning ticket will be drawn September 19th at the National Shoot, as we project that we will attain our goal of raising $10,000 by that time. To date, the Sweepstakes has raised $7,500 for the Running Boar Range Project. A year ago we arranged to sweeten our prize and increase interest through the generosity of Clint Hlebechuk donating a bear viewing experience for one person at Alaska’s Hallo Bay Bear Camp in Katmai National Park, Alaska. (additional persons double occupancy fares can be purchased at $2,850) And 20% of any additional booking for the winner’s party would go to the NMLRA Running Board Range Project. Due to these additional donations from Clint’s business partners (see below), we have an exceptional offering for our Sweepstakes. Get your tickets now!
