We drew the winning ticket for the raffle! Sue Stevens of California City had the winning ticket for the beautiful Cowboy Boot Quilt donated by the Dam Quilters. She purchased the ticket at Cheryl’s Diner. When we were closed the quilt was displayed there and they sold the tickets. We would like to thank the Dam Quilters and Cheryl and her staff for helping us raise money for the museum.
