Raffle, beer and root beer sales raise funds for work at historic White Sulphur Springs Ranch.   Thank you to the Professional Artists & Crafters (PAC) group, who organized the event this weekend in the Graeagle Park, for allowing White Sulphur Springs Ranch (WSSR) to once again set up a booth at their Craft Fair.  Each year WSSR sets up Porta-Saloon and holds a raffle at the August fair to raise funds for the restoration and improvement of historic WSSR.  Work at WSSR is dedicated to restoring and improving the ranch for public use, with a strong emphasis on ensuring accessibility for the disabled.  This year Porta-Saloon added root beer to their beer sales, and it was a HUGE success.  Many artists and craft fair vendors participated in the raffle by donating additional items they made to the drawing.

This year's grand prize raffle winner was Brooks Faris who won the Camp Chef portable Camp Stove and griddle, along with many other fine hand-made craft items from vendors.  Thank you to the many vendors that were kind enough to donate their unique hand-made items to the raffle and thank you to Camp Chef for donating one of their fine products as the grand prize.  For more information about other Camp Chef products, visit Campchef.com.

If you have never been to the August Craft Fair, organized by the Professional Artists and Crafters (PAC) group, you have missed a unique opportunity to see some of the best crafters and artist in California.  PAC is a unique organization that only allows vendors who make what they sell participate in these events.  In other words, you are always buying directly from the folks that make the products.  If you are an artist or crafter interested in participating in these PAC events during the year, contact me at 925-321-3354 and I will put you in touch with the promoter.
