DOOR PRIZES:
Every vehicle that enters will be automatically entered into our door prize raffle. Your vehicle entry number is your raffle number. Starting at 10:00am, we will start pulling approximately 20 to 30 raffle numbers. We will do this every half with our final drawing at 1:00pm. We will post the winning numbers on our whiteboard at the Raffle Booth which is located inside the Community Building. We will also announce them on our PA system. Once a number is drawn, it will be active for 90 minutes. If unclaimed after 90 minutes, the Raffle Booth volunteers have the option (at their discretion) to void any unclaimed numbers and draw new ones. Therefore, if you do not hear the announcement, it is recommended that you check the board at the Raffle Booth once every hour as we will be handing out a lot of door prizes. In the event your number has been voided after 90 minutes and you attempt to claim your prize, if it is no longer listed on the white board, we are sorry, but your number has been removed from the raffle.
Can you choose your own Item: To a point, yes. Although this process can change from year-to-year,
our current process is to break raffle items into one of four to five categories. When a winner emerges,
they will blindly select a colored chip (usually red, green, blue, white, yellow, and/or black). Each prize
category is assigned a chip color. Whatever color you draw, you can select any item from that category.
The "Power Chip": We do have what we call a "Power Chip" and it is Black. There are typically
only three of these chips available. If you happen to draw one of the three "Power Chips", this means
you get to chose one item from each of the colored categories which could be up to 4 or 5 items which
depends how many categories we have that particular year. You cannot choose multiple from one color,
only one item each from each color category. One a chip has been drawn, it is then out of service.

SILENT AUCTION:
Silent Auction Rules:
1) If you are the first bidder for an item, you must bid at least the minimum bid shown or a higher bid.
2) If increasing a bid, you must bid the minimum of the incremental amount when increasing a bid.
3) Failure to correctly abide by the above two rules may result in your bid being cancelled by the staff.
4) Complete all information requested on the bid sheet. We need to know how to reach you if you win.
5) If no contact information is given and we cannot reach you, the next bidder will be deemed the winner.
6) If you have already left the event when we contact you, we will hold your item for up to two weeks.
7) Items can be scheduled for pickup in town within two weeks of the show's conclusion (by Aug 3rd).
8) We will not mail, ship, or deliver any items unless pre-arranged with the show coordinator prior to bidding.
Promptly at 1:30pm, all bid sheets will be pulled by the silent auction personnel and the auction will officially be closed. Once each bid sheet is pulled, that is it and no more bids will be permitted. The personnel will determine winners and will start making contact immediately. If you are a bidder, it is suggested you check back with them at 1:40pm to see if you won. Winners will be contacted by phone and a message will be left. As noted above, you will need to contact us to plan to pick up your item at a later date in town, but all items must be picked up within two weeks of the show.
50/50 RAFFLE:
The 50/50 Raffle will be back. As always, registration will have various bundle packets available at a discounted price during the period that registration is open. The Information Booth will also be selling tickets. At 9:30 am, those registration discounted packets will end. Starting at 10:00am, we will have a couple of people selling tickets around the event with new incentives.
Note: For the past three years, the winner of the 50/50 raffle has taken home more than $1,000.00.
We do have an event gaming license issued through the Indiana State Gaming Board. That license is on display at the Information Booth.
We will have our silent auction with great items up for bid. Our silent auction will open at 7:00am. Be sure to check it out and bid on any items that appeal to you. If you bid on any items, be sure to check back and increase your bid if you have been outbid. The staff personnel are not allowed to contact anyone with an alert when/if a bidder has been outbid. It is the bidder's responsibility to monitor any auction in which they are participating. All items must be paid for at the time of pickup. All auction sales are payable by cash or check. Sorry, no credit cards.
The winners of the 50/50 raffle have each won between $1000 and $1500
for the past three years in a row!
We have many ticket package specials the day of the show, so be sure to get one of the specials to get the most value for your dollar.
