The highlight for many attendees at Overland Expo West is undoubtedly the Overland Expo Foundation Raffle. The event taking place Saturday night, May 17th at the Oasis Bar and Food Court Sponsored by XPLOR brings together thousands of your fellow attendees for an evening of high energy fun, supporting the charitable work of the Overland Expo Foundation. Of course, we’d be remiss in not mentioning the thousands of dollars of overland prizes to be won. That list of prizes is growing longer and longer by the day and new prizes are being added right up until the event itself.
