THE "DUSTY PARROT" RAFFLE
This is it...the kick-off of our newest raffle, the "Dusty Parrot" raffle!! The proceeds will go to our friends at Warriors @ 45 North The parrot is made from a 55 gallon steel drum (recycling), the rib on the drum, is the perch for the parrot. There were only 10 that were made in 1997 and 3 have been in storage since back then, (the parrot in the middle is the one I bought back then & has been on my pool deck wall since 2009, exposed to the weather). The backside has been re-coated with fresh paint, the front is original paint, 23 years old, almost an antique. Tickets are: 1 tix, $5 or 5 tix. $20 contact: Tom Donovan at: president@pnnhphc.com if you wish to participate. This raffle will run through our December 20 meeting. Winner is responsible for shipping costs, if necessary.
The "Dusty Parrot" Raffle (cont.)
MORE about the rest of this piece:The backer boards are half sawn logs about 2 inches thick, tapered, manicured with sandpaper and all wood is stained & satin poly finish (easy to clean). The signs are custom made, the "Bar" & "Inn" sign is reversible and the lettering is all outline (hard to see in pics.). The nails holding the signs are old cut nails (100+ years old), that I extracted from restoration work that I have done in the past, a little sanding & fresh paint, repurposed! !

Each Vet that stays, draws a silhouette of their hand on the 2x10 inch ceiling joist (above the bunks) and adds their name and date they stayed. The same happens in the main house. This is our raffle program at work.
