It's Saturday Night.....it's time to Loonie-Toonie!!!

So what's exactly is a loonie-toonie?  Well it's a raffle used to fundraise for various community events!  Last night's was for the Hip-Hop Crew's visit to Qik in November.  You arrive and get your tickets--- $1 and $2 and 50-50 draw..... there are tables laid out with different items---this one had lots of furniture, dishes and bedding.. others in the past I've gone to had things from cases of pop, flour, chocolate, toliet paper and clothing!  Just sort of depends what's had been donated! 

You have to keep ONE ticket and the other ticket goes in the bags for each item---this was something at my first loonie-toonie I had issues with... now I separate them; and put one set in my pocket---so that i don't end up putting BOTH tickets into the bags....

Here's a shot of the table action.... there are usually chairs sitting along the walls.. and once people get rid of their tickets they sit down and chat... so it's quite the social experience.... Last night it was the first one I've been to since the spring---It was really fun to see all the new babies that have arrived in the community!!

I'm waiting with my tickets waiting for them to DRAW one of them..but sadly I did not win the extra glasses or plates or book shelf I had thought it might be fun to win!  Here's my 'un-lucky' tickets.... the green was for the $1 table and the blue was for the $2 table! 

All in all it was a pretty fun night..... and when I came out there was SNOW!!!!

Oh yes... it has arrived in PANG!! :)
