Home / BCC / Annual Events / BCC Benefit Raffle
Proceeds of the BCC's annual Raffle go to fund the Bondurant Community Club's expenses and charitable donations.
Raffle ticket sales are on-going through the summer. Tickets become available as soon as our own June S. arrives in the Basin, much like the robin in springtime. Tickets can be purchased from June and from other enthusiastic folks throughout the summer at the annual Bondurant BBQ, at any BCC meeting or event, and - last chance! - right up until the drawing at Heritage Days.
Raffle tickets are $1.00 each or $5.00 for six (6). Winning raffle tickets are drawn at Heritage Days, promptly at 3:00 pm.
2011's raffle features wonderful prizes:
Quilt: "Dancing With The Gods"This beautiful full-sized quilt was crafted by Hoback Ranches' own Claudia Roberts. "Dancing with the Gods" is rendered in modern colors but evokes an ancient mythology.
The classic silhouette of Kokopelli, the humpbacked Flute Player, is stitched into the quilt (see enlargement of stitching detail, left) and his figure brightens the brown squares in the overall design (right).
Kokopelli is a Hopi symbol of fertility, replenishment, music, dance, and mischief!
The quilt is 80" x 80". Claudia reports that she made it large enough for a double bed. It will be perfect for those crisp Wyoming evenings - coming up sooner than you might think.
This fine quality, framed print features one of Mrs. Eileen Dockham's most beloved scenes: A majestic Eagle surveying his domain.
Mrs. Dockham was a life-long resident of Bondurant. Her parents homesteaded seven miles off the main road and Eileen grew up here, built a life with Billy Dockham and raised her children in the Bondurant Basin.
She loved art and became well-known for her work in oils and watercolors. Her favorite topic was the western scenery that she loved. Her landscapes, wildflower and wildlife portraits are widely collected.
This item is made possible through the generosity of the late Mrs. Dockham's family.
Tickets are still available - contact June Sweede, or come to Heritage Days where the winning raffle tickets will be drawn promptly at 3:00 pm.
2010's drawing was held at Heritage Days on August 14. Promptly at 3:00 pm, the winning tickets were drawn by enthusiastic youngsters. Lucky winners walked away with these wonderful prizes:
"Arrow Head" QuiltA perennial favorite at the Raffle is a hand-stitched quilt created by Hoback Ranches' own Claudia Roberts. 2010's beautiful lap quilt, right, was Claudia's original "Arrow Head" design.
The Great OutdoorsThis exciting fabric collage was the Bondurant School children's art project this year. The piece was designed and created by the kids themselves. Each child created his or her own personal design for their square, which incorporated an outdoor theme, left.
The colorful creation was a sincere tribute to our beautiful Wyoming home - as seen through a child's eyes.
The winner of this raffle item generously donated it to the Bondurant Elementary School, where it is prominently displayed in the hallway to this day.
This fine quality, framed print, right, features one of Mrs. Eileen Dockham's most beloved scenes: Big horn sheep in the high country. Prints of Mrs. Dockham's paintings are made possible through the generosity her family.
