The Huss and Dalton Guitar Company
has made a beautiful guitar especially for our festival. For
you instrument afficianados, it's a Custom TD-R #2803 with Indian
Rosewood back and sides, an Red Spruce top with a gorgeous sunburst,
Waverly 1129 tuning machines w/oval buttons,
inscribed with the H&D logo with oval
buttons, and a hard shell TKL tweed case. For those of you who aren't guitar
geek s, let's just say that this guitar is very special. The retail price on this treasure is $4505. Tickets are $10.00 each or 3 for $25.00.
The Staunton-Augusta Rotary Club has offered its help in
selling tickets. They sponsor the very successful Jazz In The Park
summer music series in Staunton and, every year, offer a music
scholarship to a qualifying student. For those seeking information
about the raffle tickets you can call our friend Nancy Sorrells at
(540) 377-6390.
We'd also like to thank Stellar One in Staunton
for being an outlet for raffle tickets. The guitar will be displayed
in the lobby of the downtown branch where tickets are also on sale.
The raffle will continue
until Saturday's afternoon concerts at this year's FWMF.
The drawing
will take place just before Marty Stuart's concert on
September 26. You do not need to be present to win.
