🎉 Congratulations to the winners of the Winter Blues Festival Fundraising Raffle!

The raffle was drawn at 1:15pm today in Hopwood Gardens, where John Challis shared the heartfelt stories behind his handcrafted Griggs Creek instruments. He spoke about the carefully chosen materials, how his late son inspired their creation, and the people and places that have brought him joy over the years. Before drawing the winners, John treated the crowd to a performance on both instruments.

Congratulations to Jen G, the proud new owner of the 4-string, and Michael P, who has taken home the 3-string.

A huge thank you to everyone who purchased a ticket. Your support helps keep the Winter Blues Festival alive and thriving.
