I'm not too picky where they hold it. Im just glad to be able to attend my first one at all. Really looking forward to seeing all the new equipment we keep reading about in person. Bringing $$$ is a given

plus we've never been to DC so that should make for a good family trip with wife and two young boys.
Can the Macna vets better explain the raffle system they use there? Am I right in thinking one buys tickets for set amount of money and places tickets into the box for prize we want to win? Thanks!
