QUILT RAFFLE.  The quilt was constructed using traditional hand piecing and hand and machine quilting techniques.  The Log Cabin quilt pattern originated on the Isle of Man, where it was considered the “Manx” pattern, the same way that certain plaids are identified with specific Scottish clans.  The Log Cabin pattern became popular again in the mid 19^th century and during the Civil War were often made by groups as raffle quilts to raise money for charities and war efforts. These quilt blocks are laid out in an arrangement known as “Barn Raising”.

This quilt will be raffled off during “Good Old Days” on September 20, 2008.  Raffle tickets are on sale for $2.00 each or 6 for $10.00 and proceeds will benefit the museum as part of the 125^th anniversary of the railroad coming to the Owens Valley.

CENTENNIAL BELT BUCKLE.  A rare Laws Station 100th anniversary brass belt buckle will be raffled to help fund needed improvements to the model railroad display in the Depot.  Tickets are on sale for $1.00 each, or 6 for @5.00.  (picture not available).

Both raffles will be held at "Good Ole Days".  Ticket holders need not be present to win.
