What is Quartermania?

Quartermania is a bid/auction game. Many of our Galena businesses have donated items or certificates that will be up for grabs (The items up for auction always have a minimum value of $15 and many items have a much higher value, usually $15-40 values)

You pay a $15 entrance fee which includes your entrance, a paddle, and snacks at your table.

Each time an item is announced for bid, the auctioneer will tell you the cost to bid (generally a quarter). If you want to bid, you throw your quarter into the bucket on your table and hold up your paddle. The auctioneer then pulls a number from the drum filled with ping pong balls and will continue to pull numbers until a winning number is pulled!

After each item is auctioned off, everyone’s number goes back into the drum. So, provided you have put a quarter in the bucket, you always have a chance to win! Tickets are limited, so be sure to purchase yours ahead of time!

Limited quarters will be available for purchase at the event, and you are welcome to bring your own!

We hope to see you there!
