Sculpture raffle

There’s only a few days left to buy a raffle ticket to win an amazing Screech Owl Carving by Randy Dunbar. The raffle is a fundraiser for the Doug Dunbar Memorial Scholarship.

Doug was a McKenzie high school graduate who began working on fire crews the year he graduated to help pay for college. By 1993, his hard work and desire to be the best had led him to the elite firefighting ranks, as a member of the Prineville Hotshots. Doug perished along with 13 other firefighters in the 1994 South Canyon Fire in Colorado.

The scholarship is sponsored by a trust established in his name. In keeping with the mission of the Forest Service, it is given based on an essay about natural resource conservation.

To purchase tickets contact swetland.sam@gmail.com or kathyharbick@gmail.com. Tickets are $5 each. The drawing will be held at the McKenzie River Community Celebration Sept 13th.
