You'll receive a free ticket to cast a vote or enter the game room. Games
Heads/Tails (Cash Prize)
The cost to participate is $5 in cash. You will be given a paper mask of an animal to identify you during the game. Participants will choose sides by placing the mask in front of their face to either show the front of the animal "the head" or the back of the animal "the tail." A coin will be flipped. If the location of your mask matches what is showing on the coin, you're still in the game. Otherwise, you sit down. This continues until one person remains standing. That person is the winner of the cash prize. How much can you win? That depends on how many people participate. The value will equal at least half of the Heads/Tails proceeds.
Wine & Beer Ring Toss
If you win, claim your wine/beer prize to take home after the event. Cost to play is 1 ticket. Additional tickets can be purchased. If you bring in a bottle of wine we'll give you an extra ticket to play. If you bring in a bottle of liquor, we'll give you two extra tickets to play. (At the end of the night, the remaining beer/wine/liquor will be included as a Live Auction Item.)
