Hall Mountain Volunteer Fire Association is holding raffles for both a beautiful quilt and a brand new rifle, with the drawing to be held at the association's annual Appreciation Dinner September 30. According to Hall Mountain Fire Auxiliary Chair Justine Williams, proceeds from the sale will be used to provide Hall Mountain firefighters with Life Flight memberships so they don't have to worry about emergency medical transport should they be injured, and to by needed equipment to protect both the firefighters and those they serve. The quilt is a king size flannel top, and tickets are just $1 each or six for $5. The rifle is a Mossberg Patriot 30-06 with scope, matte blued with a black synthetic stock donated by Butch at Far North Outfitters, and tickets for this beauty, on display at Far North (where you can also by tickets) when it's not being shown at various event through the next few months, are six for $5 or 25 for $20. Tickets for both the rifle and/or the quilt can be purchased at North Idaho Ironworks. Mountain West Bank is selling both quilt and rifle tickets through Friday, May 5, where the quilt is on display, and the auxiliary will have a booth at the Boundary Community Hospital Health Fair right alongside local EMTs and firefighters from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 13.
