If you missed out on VIP tickets this year, we have exciting news: we just upgraded the tickets in the Red River Valley Foundation's silent auction to VIP tickets—plus an additional Merch Credit! 🎁

🔥That’s not all—the RRVF is also selling raffle tickets for a chance to win $5,000, and fewer than 200 tickets will be sold! 🎟️

💰Here is how you can support and win:

We’re sure you saw these two guys around all weekend at the fest - Kyle Garrett was our senior social media correspondent all weekend and also performed Friday night at The Motherlode!

Joe Fink is a friend of 8750’ and works for Hand Drawn Records so he stepped in to flip roles with KG on this one 😂

See you August 18-22 next year in Red River!
