Raffle For Student Built Home [AUDIO]

A $300,000 student-built custom home in Missoula could be yours for the price of a $100 raffle ticket.   Just 4,000 tickets are available for the drawing to be held in fall of  2012. Students in the COT Carpentry Program and the high school Flagship Program are building the home and receiving supervision and guidance from Kim Zupan, David Neu, and Scott Gratsky of the COT Carpentry Program, Mike Nichols of Tamarack Construction, Jim Schafer of Straightedge Construction and Wade Hoyt of Hoyt Homes, Inc. Proceeds from the raffle will fund future projects and scholarships to eligible students who were involved. UM College of  Technology Dean’s Assistant Jackie Hausmann says this is not a fundraiser but an opportunity for the students to get hands on experience in building a home.(That interview is attached below)
