RAFFLE

We have an incredible instrument: A Menzies Gourd Banjo with mango neck and Jamaican goatskin head, courtesy of Jeff Menzies, who has been making gourd banjos for 20 years. He is located in Kingston, Jamaica where he produces his instruments and teaches visual arts.
To help with fundraising in this challenging year, we are hosting an online Raffle to support this amazing donation-only event.  Raffle Tickets are $1.00 each, and 25 for $20.00! No limits on ticket purchase, buy as many as you like! All proceeds go to the Goleta Valley Historical Society to cover festival contest prizes.
