NEW RAFFLE!
For just $20 this Savage Axis II 350 Legend bolt action rifle in green camo could be yours!
Grab your ticket from Martin's General Store, Harborside Harvest Market, Hog Island Market, the Swanton VFW or right from the source: Back Country Sports! We'll also be selling tickets at the Derby Awards Ceremony where the winner will be drawn and announced. Good luck!! |
Tickets now available at all weigh-ins, online and at the Swanton VFW!!
Adult ticket price is now $30 - Kids Perch tickets remain FREE for kids 12 and under. In thanks for getting us to our 45th derby, all in-person ticket purchases will come with a free sticker! All tickets still need a signed waiver, meaning you can only buy for yourself in person (or for a child you are parent/legal guardian of), but this year there is no fee on online ticket purchases.
