Doors open at noon for check in and shopping, auction will start at 1 pm.
How does a Quarter Mania work? We have laid it our below but TRUST us it is simple!! Everyone who has ever attended has been thrilled. We do test runs at the beginning to make sure everyone knows how to play.
Guests 10 years and older may participate if they have their own ticket. Please do not bring anyone under the age of 10.
Everyone must have a ticket to sit and bid. We will only have 100 bidder paddles and 100 chairs set up. Anyone may come and shop or watch, but the chairs are paid for by the bidders when they get their paddle.
Upon check in, each guest with a pre-sale ticket will receive a Guest Goody Bag which includes an Event Program with the listings of our vendors, auction items, raffle items, silent auction items, and 1 bidder paddle. You will still need your quarters with this paddle.
We have $25 general admission tickets which require you to bring quarters an will also have VIP ALL in pre-sale tickets for $40.00. These paddles come with everything above PLUS unlimited snack bar trips and no need to bring quarters you are prepaying to be all in for all rounds, and a VIP goody bag.
The regular paddle will be $30 at the door and the VIP will be $45 at the door.
There will be two rounds
Round 1 = 3 Quarter Round (Est. retail value $50 or higher)
Round 2 = 2 Quarter Round (Est. retail value $30 or higher)
Bidders interested in the opportunity to win that specific basket/item must then deposit the quarter into a collection jar on the tables. Then they raise their bidding paddle in the air, and then a random number will be drawn from those bidding. The guest holding up that chosen number wins that basket for only 2-3 quarters.
Guest can increase their chance of winning by purchasing an additional paddle for $5. Limit 3 paddles per person.
If more than one paddle is used per round, guest must deposit quarter for each paddle used.
Before the bidding begins and between the two rounds you will be able to do shopping at our vendors shopping area. They will all have specials going on this day. The proceeds from this event will benefit the philanthropic work done by our club through the year.
