Illionis Little League Affiliate Holds Assault Rifle Raffle
ATWOOD -- The town's little league program has people fired up over a new fundraiser. It's raffling off a rifle to help more than a dozen teams play ball.
Organizers tried the traditional fundraisers in the past including a hog roast and raffling off donated gift cards. But after only generating only $10 last year, they felt they had to try something new.
"It's got a full rail system, comes with a 30 round magazine," said Bryan Butcher, co-owner of Atwood Armory.
He's talking about the AR-15. It's the prized possession on the shelf at his gun shop. And it's on the brink of taking the town's little league program to new heights.
