2019 Tricky Tray Winners Posted – Carnival on the Mountain

We have received several requests from our annual Carnival on the Mountain regarding the winners of our Tricky Tray Raffle. First off, we would like to personally thank all the contributors and donors that made this part of our carnival a huge success. We would also like to thank all those who purchased raffle tickets. Our annual carnival is our largest fundraiser to help us raise money to pay our bills, maintain our apparatus and keep up-to-date with evolving technology. The listing of prizes and winners has been posted below. Congratulations to the winners! You should have all already been contacted via telephone. We apologize for any partial or misspelled names. They names have been transcribed as they where written on the ticket stub. We hope to see you again next year.

We have received a couple inquiries regarding the drawing of the tricky tray winners, which took place on Sunday, June 16. The drawing of the winners is NOT open to the public and we have practiced this routine for many years. We would like to help answer your questions and explain why we restrict the drawing.  Large signage is posted in the hall notifying potential winners of this restriction.

Imagine yourself being in a room with over 100 prizes, with each prize needing to have a ticket pulled, then the ticket stub with the contact information having to be located in a pile of several thousand stubs, then logged, tagged, and winner contacted. All this work takes concentration and silence to ensure accuracy. Imagine our volunteers trying to do all this work while being interrupted by onlookers talking, doors opening and closing, cell phones ringing and finally winners interrupting the drawing to try and take their winning basket. The actual drawing takes our volunteers several hours to complete accurately. It's tough work and our team needs strict silence to ensure accuracy. We have tried in the past to open the drawing to the public and the above mentioned situations are what our volunteers experienced. We hope you understand where we are coming from and why we restrict the drawing to the public.
