What is Quartermania?

A Quartermania is a cross between an auction and a raffle where people ‘bid’ to win a product/prize donated from local businesses and members of the community. Bids on these new items are from 1 to 4 quarters, depending on the cost of the basket. For each $25 the basket is worth, the bid is $0.25.

How does it work?

When you arrive you will check-in and pick out a paddle (or several) with a number on each that is used for your individual bidding on the items you want to try to win. Your registration fee covers your first paddle, and you can either purchase a second paddle or donate a basket to receive a second paddle!

Each gift basket or gift will be assigned an amount of quarters that are needed to place a bid on that item.

The auctioneer begins by holding up a product and telling a little bit about the highlights and then tells everyone how much the item is going for – between 1 and 4 quarters! If you would like to bid on that item, you put the corresponding number of quarters in the collection pot then hold up your paddle(s) and wait for your number to be called!

Once all the bids are in – the auctioneer will shuffle the lotto balls, randomly select a ball, and pull out a number!

If your lucky paddle number is called and you HAVE placed a bid, you WIN that item –and you only paid 1, 2, 3, or 4 quarters!

Now, if you didn’t bid – you just say “no bid” and the auctioneer will re-shuffle and continue calling a number until someone who has placed a bid - and is holding their paddle up - wins!
