I couldn't resist stopping to get my pic next to this meat raffle sign at a church in Maine. Everyone loves a meat raffle! At least everyone in Maine, Minnesota and the UK. I recently heard of meat raffles in a Chris Bohjalian novel. Highly recommended author! So, you buy your tickets at the meat raffle to win a variety of cuts of meat (including pork chop on a stick in the Bohjalian novel). Money usually goes to a local charity
One of these days, I'm going to make my way to a meat raffle...

love this picture Christine. As I just remember it, we do have meat raffles in Mass. Growing up I remember we had them in our church hall and they were called Turkey Shoots. Usually they were right before Thanksgiving and you could go and win your Thanksgiving turkey. I'm thinking the next time we are up in Noho we should have a meat raffle at your place. Let's do it - we'll pick a charity and raffle off some meat!
Hee hee
