ric, i thought your contest was great. to be honest, i wouldn't change a thing. personally, i wouldn't supply a raffle plane. i don't think you'll make enough at a contest to pay back the cost really. maybe, if you wanted. find a local restraunt that the guys can all gather at on saturday night or possibly have a cookout where everyone provides a side dish. i tried this at my contest last year and it worked well. i think the cost of gas played a big role in everyone's plans last year in going to contests. hope this helps. later, toby....
