A Quarter Auction is a combination of a raffle and auction. As you arrive, you purchase a numbered paddle(s). A corresponding numbered poker chip is placed in a bag. An auction item is held up and described. Anyone who wants to “bid” puts their quarter(s) in a basket as it gets passed around and holds up their paddle.
Once all of the “bids” are in, a chip is chosen from the bag. The person holding that numbered paddle up wins the item. If that numbered paddle is not up, then another chip is drawn until a winner is pulled. Then all numbered chips are put back in the bag, and the bidding starts over for the next item.
Paddle Cost - $3/ea or 2 for $5
$1 to $20 Valued Basket = 1 Quarter Bid
$21 to $40 Valued Basket = 2 Quarter Bid
