What is Quartermania?

Quartermania is a fun and fast-paced auction-style game where you can win great prizes for just quarters!

Here’s how it works:

Local Galena businesses have generously donated items and gift certificates worth at least $15 - some even valued up to $50 or more!
To join in, you pay a $20 entrance fee. This includes your admission, a bidding paddle, and snacks at your table.
During the game, items will be announced one at a time. The auctioneer will tell you how much it costs to bid - usually just 25 cents (one quarter).
If you want to try to win that item, you drop the required number of quarters into the bucket at your table and raise your paddle.
The auctioneer then pulls a number at random. If your paddle number is called, and you placed a bid,you win the prize!
Everyone's number goes back into the drawing after each round, so you always have a chance to win as long as you bid.

Don’t forget:
Bring plenty of quarters to play! A limited number of quarters will also be available for purchase at the event.

*All the proceeds from this event help the Galena Downtown Business Association with future favorite events like Galena's beautiful Luminary Night. Thank you for your support! Have fun!
