Anyone here going tonight in Stoughton?

I've never been to one, do they do all the raffles at the end or throughout the night?

I've been to a few. Depends on the size of the crowd, and how the local commitee decides to do things. Typically the main raffle board prizes are done after dinner, as are any silent auctions. They may have what they call "walkthroughs" during dinner, selling tickets, then drawing the winner for one prize at a time, for extra prizes that are not on the main prize display. How many they do depends on crowd size and how much money they can take in.

It's not hard to drop a couple hundred bucks at one these. The best deals are "specials" where you can buy "duck bucks" which you can use instead of real money to buy raffle tickets. For an example, you'll typically get enough to buy $150 worth of raffle tickets, for $100 cash up front. If you win a gun, they'll have a FFL there to do the 4473 & NICS so you can take it home (unless you win a handgun, in which case, you'll have to go see their FFL 48 hrs later to pick it up ).
