To Benefit Abused Children

Silver Screen Legend XIV Winner !!!

HOMEMAKER IS LUCKY WINNER
OF THE SILVER SCREEN LEGEND XIV

Apple Valley, CA. The drawing for the SILVER SCREEN LEGEND XIV, a magnificent pair of fully engraved and sterling silver-plated Colt SAA .45 revolvers and a gorgeous Hollywood style double buscadero holster rig just like the one that Roy Rogers wore in his movies and TV series, was held Saturday night, December 17, 2011 during Curly’s Cowboy Christmas dinner and show, a benefit for abused children at the Cooper Home, a project of Happy Trails Children's Foundation. Mimi Rogers Swift, daughter of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans and a member of the Happy Trails Children's Foundation board of directors drew the winning ticket.

The drum was packed with more than 20,000 ticket stubs representing tickets sold throughout 2011. The lucky winner is Mrs. Lavonne Novak-Dlouhy of Dodge, Nebraska. The winning ticket number was 53, one of eleven tickets Mrs. Novak-Dlouhy purchased by phone for herself along with 11 tickets for her husband, James. They saw it promoted in the American Rifleman magazine and are first-time ticket buyers. Mr. and Mrs. Dlouhy have a large blended family with 10 adult children and 21 grandchildren. They are both NRA members and Lavonne enjoys deer hunting with James. Lavonne is the first lady winner in the fourteen year history of the Silver Screen Legend. She is also only the second FFL holder to win. In addition to being a semi-retired farmer, James is a gun collector, owns a gun shop and does gun repairs.

To date, the Silver Screen Legend project has raised more than $1,500,000.00 dollars for abused children. It is truly a unique case of guns doing good things for kids. The Happy Trails Children's Foundation is a charitable non-profit organization. All donations are fully tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, under the Internal Revenue Code, Section 501(c)(3). The kids at the Cooper Home for abused children offer a huge THANK YOU to everyone who bought tickets for Silver Screen Legend XIV. Your support is sincerely appreciated!

A big tip of the Stetson to those special people who make this drawing possible each year including General William Keys of Colt’s Mfg. Co. and the folks in the Colt Custom Shop; Jim Lockwood, Jr. of Legends in Leather; Conrad Anderson of Rocktree Ranch; Bob Leskovec of Precision Pro Grips; Mr. David Warther, Jr. of Warther Carvings; Charles Sauer of Sauer Custom Knives and Spurs; Mike Ekstrom, of Custom Jewelry by Michael & Naomi Ekstrom; and Ron Love. Without these fine folks, there would be no Silver Screen Legend fund raising project. All of these wonderful people and companies are enduring examples of that very special American Spirit known as "the cowboy way."

Watch for Silver Screen Legend XV, coming in January 2012. Each year the outfit is different from previous years. The Silver Screen Legend XV will present a Tribute to the singing cowboys, Tex Ritter and Eddie Dean. The outfit will feature a pair of unique engraved Colt .45 SAA revolvers in a magnificent hand –carved and sterling silver mounted deluxe Hollywood style double gun rig exactly like the ones worn by Tex and Eddie.
