Chances to win the gun save will be sold during the Homecoming 2020 festivities on Oct. 17.
In consideration of COVID-19 concerns and in an effort to be CometSmart, the Comet Athletic Club board has chosen to forego the in-person raffle event and instead broadcast the 50-gun giveaway drawing live on Facebook.
The Farmers Bowl Silent Auction will be held in the parking lot outside of Jerome Berg Field. Bidding will open following the Farmers Bowl parade and will end at the conclusion of half time of the Farmers Bowl game.

50-Gun Giveaway - Saturday, September 26
The 14th annual Sportsmen's Raffle event will be held Saturday, Sept. 26, 2020 at the National Guard Armory in Mayville. The doors will open at 5 p.m. Dinner will be served at 5:30 p.m., and the gun raffle begins at 7 p.m.
The Comet Athletic Club Sportsmen's Raffle is held annually to raise scholarships for Mayville State student athletes. The highlight of the event is a 50-gun giveaway. Tickets sell for $100 each and only 500 tickets will be sold, so ticket purchasers have a one-in-ten chance of winning. The evening event also includes a meal, a variety of raffles, games, and prizes. Must be 21 to attend.
In the event that the COVID situation should force cancellation of the Sept. 26 event at the Armory, the drawing for the guns will still be held. Winner will be notified.
