OGLE COUNTY – Local Ducks Unlimited chapters are selling a high end 2018 raffle calendar for a chance to win five guns a week during 2018.
 The handsome calendar features photographs of magnificent scenes of waterfowl, retrievers, and hunts from across Illinois. Each day of the week, Monday through Friday, the 2018 raffle calendar displays a photograph of the firearm to be raffled off on that day. And if your raffle calendar number is drawn on Saturday or Sunday you’ll have a chance to win our 2018 Grand Prize – a Cub Cadet Challenger UTV.
Also, raffle calendars purchased before Oct. 1, will be entered into a drawing for 8 additional firearms.  Ducks Unlimited was formed to provide for the life cycle needs of North America’s migratory waterfowl by protecting, restoring, enhancing, and managing important wetlands and associated uplands. DU is the world’s largest private sector waterfowl, wetlands, and wildlife conservation organization, with one million supporters and members in the U.S. Since its inception in 1937, DU has raised nearly $2 billion and conserved nearly 14 million acres of habitat throughout North America.
The $60 conservation fundraising calendars can be procured by contacting Rod Avey (Mount Morris) at 815-734-3056, Jacob Bigelow (Rochelle) at 815-520-3309, Mac McCulloch (Chana) at 815-871-3596, and Mark Swegle (Dixon) at 815-440-2410.
