ORA and Rapid LED have kindly donated some really nice items for the raffle this year. From T-shirts to complete LED DIY Kit.



How the Raffle works
At the swap there will be a staging area with several tables setup. The raffle items will be displayed on the tables along with a collection cup next to each item. Place your raffle tickets in the collection cups for the items you wish to win. The raffle tickets can be purchased at the swaps entrance where you pay admittance fee. When the raffle has started someone will mix up the tickets in the collection cup and blindly select one. If it is yours you win that item. The more tickets purchased the better your chances of winning and there is no limit to the number of items you can win. However you must be present to win.


How To Get 3 Free Raffle Tickets
In addition to purchasing raffle tickets you can obtain free tickets for posting items for sale on Fragswapper. For every three unique items you post on Fragswapper you will receive one free raffle ticket up to a maximum of 3 free tickets. Swap vendors are excluded from receiving free raffle tickets. Your tickets will be waiting for you when you arrive. Just tell the cashier your Fragswapper email address which is private to the public but we have access too

Note: A unique item on Fragswapper no matter how many "quantity" counts as one item. i.e. One item with quantity of nine is considered one item.

With the swap only 3 weeks away Fragswapper is getting some nice corals listed each day. Here some pictures of a few.

I never imagined that we would ever fill such as massive facility. Thank you to all the Hobbyists, Vendors and Earlybirds for coming out and supporting WORC. It was a great day. Here are a few shots for those that couldn't make it this year.

 

I was there. I had a blast.

I think you got the pink lemonade I had unrequested. Lucky devil. Winning some good raffle prizes made up for it though.

See you next year.
