Another Vancouver winner!

On Saturday night following our very successful auction at the Sidewalk Arts festival, our rotary club held the drawing for the two week all expense trip to Belize that we have been raffling, both on line and via ticket sales.  All the raffle tickets were the same type and size, and were folded up.  The winner was Michael Porter of Vancouver, British Columbia, who bought his ticket on line.  Our member Sandi, under whose presidency the raffle was started, has or will call Michael to tell him of his success.  
I am curious to know how he learned about it, and whether it was the result of a search  engine or whether he reads this blog.  So Michael - if you read this, how did you learn about the raffle?

On another subject, Wilma posted a comment in my posting titled ' "Free range" chicken' about gibnut, a local delicacy.  It is a large rodent, and I'm not sure if someone is raising them for sale or if they are being caught, but gibnut stew appears on local "special" menues when it is available, and is tender and better than the Belize raised beef.  It's too bad Tapirs are a protected species, because they might yield better meat than the beef as well....Never heard of one?  Google: "tapir in belize"....  Want to read a really fun and interesting book about a young woman's experience living in a Myan village back in the 60s?  I thiink you can get "How to Cook a Tapir" at amazon.com.  You won't regret it...
