Each quarter auction will have a local charity that many proceeds will be donated to. 10+ local vendors will be donating their time for fun & charity!!! When you walk in the door you will have the chance to purchase bidding paddles. You may purchase as many paddles as you would like, up to 5 to start. The more paddles you purchase, the more chances you will have to win on the items you bid on. Whe
n purchase your paddles you will also receive a bidding sheet. On this sheet, there will be a list of all of the items up for auction. It will also list the amount of quarters it will take to bid on each item. When you get this list, you may want to take a look at the items and mark on your bidding sheet which items you would like to be bidding on. If any paddles are available at the start of the auction, we will allow an individual to purchase up to 5 more, for a total of 10. When the auction begins we will be auctioning off one item at a time. If you are interested in one of the items, you can bid with as many paddles as you would like. Ex: if you have five paddles you can bid with all five or just a few, depending on how much you want that item. If the first item up for bid is worth 2 quarters you will put in two quarters for every paddle that you would like to bid with. Ex: if you want to bid with all five paddles (so that you have 5 chances to win), you would put in 10 quarters, 5x.50=2.50 (or 10 quarters!). All vendors walk around and collect the quarters from the bidders. After you pay your quarters, you will raise the paddles you are bidding with. Once everyone has put in their quarters, we will be drawing numbered chips that correspond to the numbers on your bidding paddles. If one of your numbers you bid with is in the air, you WIN! Paddles are $1 each and raffle tickets are $1 per ticket or 6 for $5.
**We can also auction off an "All-in Paddle." The winner of this paddle will have a chance to win EVERY time without having to place any bids. All sales of these paddles will go towards our charity of the month. Quarter Bids:
$1-$20 - 1 Quarter
$21-$40 - 2 Quarters
$41-$60 - 3 Quarters
$61-& up - 4 Quarters
There will be a different charity of the month for each Quarter Frenzy!
