It was a pretty good return on an investment. Andy Metcalfe paid $50 and ended up with a BMW convertible. Warren Buffet may soon be asking him for some investment tips.

Okay, some luck was involved here. Andy bought four raffle tickets in a BMW drawing at the "Race for Freedom" fundraiser this week at Gary Crossley Ford in the Northland. I was the emcee of the festivities, which included giving away the big prize of the night, a blue BMW convertible. Andy and his wife, Shari, from Liberty were the excited winners. I was just happy to have held the keys for a few minutes before making the announcement.

The "Race for Freedom" event was the second fundraiser for a great project. The money raised will go toward Freedom House, a new facility to be built in Liberty that will house several charitable organizations. It's a worthy cause, and one that Andy and Shari are very happy that they supported.
