EWOB 2010 INSTRUMENT RAFFLE

EWOB's 2010 Instrument Raffle was won by Mevrouw H. van Opijnen of Assen, the Netherlands. The EWOB Festival holds an instrument raffle every year. For the cost of a 3-Euro ticket (approximately $4.00 US dollars), you can win a terrific guitar like the the professional-level dreadnaught style acoustic guitar shown here. 

This Blueridge BR-140 guitar, with solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany sides and back, comes complete with deluxe hardshell case. It was donated by Boetzkes Snaarinstrumenten for the benefit of the EWOB Festival 2010, and the lucky winner has won what musicians lovingly refer to as a "nice axe!"

Please note: Raffle tickets cost € 3,00 for one, or two for € 5,00. No purchase limit.
