Also, two $30 gift cards from Valley Mercantile, a tool cart full of “goodies” from Valley Mercantile, $100 worth of Arizona Scratch Lottery tickets, and two cat or dog exams and vaccinations by Dr. Michael John of Douglas. Local artists’ donations include a bird carving by Bill Reinbold, a pair of prints by Dave Utterback, a print by Roger McKasson, and a necklace by Chris Rogers.

You also have a chance to win a Let’s Eat Out prize that includes breakfast for two at the Rodeo Cafe, lunch for two at the Portal Store, lunch for two at the Sky Gypsy Cafe, and dinner for two at the Rodeo Tavern (8 meals).
