COW Radio hosts a Stay at Home Benefit Concert for Locke Hamilton of Prickly Pair

This comes from Andy and Jim Nelson at Clear Out West (COW) Radio out of Pinedale:

Being aware of the need to help folks around us that are experiencing trials or tragedy, we developed the concept of the Stay-at-Home Benefit Concert with help from our good friends at www.CowboyPoetry.com. This is a special concert in which you can stay at home and enjoy without spending any money. With that in mind, you are now free to donate any amount of money that you may have spent in travel, food, tickets, and lodging to this worthy cause. Enjoy the show and thank you for willingness to help others.

And this update from Connie Norman:

I am selling raffle tickets from my Ceramics Blog for a pair of my black and white salt and pepper shakers ($150) with the quote, “Add Spice to Your Conversation.” Proceeds will go to my friend Heather Blakely Voyles who is battling breast cancer. Heather is only 32 and just had a double mastectomy, hysterectomy, and her biopsy came back positive for malignant lymph nodes. Heather is a second grade teacher and will be missing the rest of the school year.

$1.33 for one ticket and $5.45 for six tickets.

The weird prices for the raffle tickets are to offset the Paypal charges, so when I give Heather the proceeds of the raffle she will won’t have to share with Paypal. The drawing will Dec. 11 at the end of our Among Friend’s Art Show and Sale. If you are buying a Paypal ticket I will fill out a raffle ticket for you for the physical drawing. I will email the winner on December 12.

If you want to help support Heather, but don’t want to purchase raffle tickets on-line, you can come to our Among Friends Art Show and Holiday Sale.
