What’s a Quarter Auction?

With your paid admission you receive 1 paddle for bidding and a list of the items being auctioned. Your selected paddle number goes into a large container for continuous drawings throughout the night. You can purchase additional paddles to increase your chances of winning. Each time an item comes up for bid that you would like to win, place the required bid amount (1, 2, 3, or 4 quarters) for each paddle being played in a bucket on your table and hold your paddle(s) up. If your number is drawn and your paddle is up, you win the item! If you didn't bid and your number is called, we keep drawing until someone wins! You also have the option to “buy-in” to all rounds of the quarter auction in advance, giving you an automatic chance to win every item that comes up for bid.
