This year's Jeep raffle winner at the annual Oktoberfest celebration is James Puckett, maybe.

Ouray Chamber Resort Association Executive Director Jennifer Loshaw said Wednesday that Puckett has 30 days to respond to OCRA's notification, but his winning ticket only has a phone number, no address. Loshaw said if Puckett fails to collect his prize, OCRA will contact the holder of an alternate ticket drawn, a resident from Kansas.

The Ouray County Historical Society also had two winners during the Oktoberfest celebration last Saturday at the Ouray Community Center. Martha Metzger, a part-time Ouray resident and one of the ladies who made the raffle quilt, had her name drawn to receive the beautiful handmade quilt is patterned after a historic quilt hanging in the OCHS museum. Nancy Johnston, a resident of Montrose, had her name drawn for a line drawing of the Mountain Top Mine by artist John Hayes.

And the winner of the ATV raffle, sponsored by the Ouray Volunteer Fire Department, is Larry Haller of Ridgway.
