EWOB 2009 INSTRUMENT RAFFLE

2009 info will be replaced as soon as all details are in for the 2010 Instrument Raffle. Meanwhile, take a look at what we did last year!

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-70AS guitar with solid Adirondack spruce top and South American rosewood sides and back comes complete with deluxe hardshell case. It was donated by Boetzkes Snaarinstrumenten for the benefit of the EWOB Festival 2009, and the lucky winner will get himself 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.

Win this beautiful BLUERIDGE BR-70AS GUITAR for only € 3,00!
