Aviation Museum of Santa Paula

 

 

Since June 28, 2008 we have been selling raffle tickets for $100 each to offer an opportunity to win a classic 1947 Stinson Voyager, or $20,000.
Early Bird Winners (see below) were awarded August 3, 2008, and after extending the final raffle drawing date for one additional month, the final prizes were drawn and awarded on October 5, 2008 at First Sunday at Santa Paula Airport.

Over 600 tickets were sold, and the prizes were awarded according to the official rules and regulations. Since fewer than 900 tickets were sold, the airplane was not awarded as part of the raffle. Instead, proceeds were split with the Grand Prize Winner in accordance with our Rules and Regulations.

The fundraiser was a tremendous success for the Aviation Museum of Santa Paula. We are immensely grateful to all who participated in our raffle and showed such enthusiastic support of our Museum! It was the first time our small Museum had presented a raffle, and we learned much from this experience. See the rules for additional details.

 

Prizes were awarded as follows:
