What is Quartermania?  

Quartermania is part raffle, part auction, and part fundraiser. When you arrive, you will be given a numbered paddle with a corresponding numbered chip which will be put into the drawing basket. If you would like to purchase additional paddles to increase your chance of winning, they will be available for $ each.
 
The items up for "auction" will be on display before the auction starts and you can decide which items you're interested in.   

Once the auction begins, the announcer holds up the first item and announces whether the item is a "1 quarter" or "2 quarter", etc. bid. If you're interested in bidding, put 1 or 2 quarters (whatever amount was announced) for EACH paddle with which you intend to bid. So if you have two paddles, want to bid with both to double your chances, and the item is a "1 quarter" bid, you'll put $.50 in the bucket and raise your paddles. If you have two paddles and decide to only bid with one, you only pay .25 BUT you MUST choose only one numbered paddle to bid with. A worker will be walking from table to table with a bucket to collect bids.

The announcer will then draw a number to find a winner. If they draw your number and you bid on the item, hooray! You just won an awesome item at a great price! If they draw your number and you did NOT bid, just call out "no bid!" and they'll continue to draw numbers until they find a winner.

There may be various raffles and cash and carry items available through the evening. The
announcer will explain how those work.

Be sure to bring quarters, but if you forget or run out, there will be rolls of quarters available
for purchase at the event.

Don't worry, all of this will be explained again at the event.

We anticipate having around XX items to auction.

Raffle tickets will also be available for purchase.

A light lunch will be served and multiple vendors will have merchandise for sale.
