The date for the dinner and night at the cabin for four is Feb. 21st, 2009.

You do not have to be present to win. See below for locations to purchase tickets.

 
This year should be special due to the fact that a professional chef, 
Paul Sharp will be preparing and serving the dinner for four during 
their stay at the hut on February 21st.  No, Paul will not be staying 
the night.  He will leave after serving the meal. The .pdf document 
lists a variety of places that you can purchase tickets for the 
raffle.  The location that sells the most tickets will also be 
provided a night at the hut, but they will be on their own for meals.


If you want raffle tickets, but can't make it to one of the next two 
meetings or one of the locations selling tickets, you can send me a 
check and I will send you your tickets. I have included information 
regarding the raffle below.

For the past 15 years, the gourmet cooks and pastry chefs of the Bitterroot Cross-Country Ski Club have prepared an epicurean extravaganza atop the Continental Divide for four lucky people. The early Extravaganzas were prepared at the May Creek Cabin on the Beaverhead National Forest. Dutch oven masterpieces, with appetizers, wine, and desserts were the initial fare. The May Creek Cabin was re-built by Volunteers from the Cross-Country Ski Club and is now a Forest Service Rental Cabin.

The Extravaganza has been held at the beautiful Gordon Reese Cabin for the last eight years. This Cabin is located on the Continental Divide within the Chief Joseph Cross-Country Ski Area near Chief Joseph Pass. All proceeds from ticket sales benefit volunteer trail grooming expenses. The trails are free and open to the public.
