Quartermainia.....WHAT IS IT????
IT IS FAST PACED FUN!!!!
WHEN ???? Sunday January 24th
doors open at 1pm, fun starts at 2pm
WHERE?? Annapolis Elks, 2517 Solomon's Island Rd
Edgewater, MD 21037
(same place as our annual yard sale)
It is a bunch of vendors who get together and auction items for just 1
to 4 quarters! And it usually lasts about 2 hours since you have over
100 items that you could win for just quarters! Vendors like some
local specialty Scrapbook Stores, Creative Memories, Cropmania,
Close to my Heart, Breezy Designs, Harbor Scrapbooking, Stampin Up
Club Scrap and more. Everything from papers to stickles to
scrapbook storage items to cricut items!
HOW DOES IT WORK???
It costs $3 to get a paddle with a number on it and there are usually
110 items you can bid on and one whole round is a fundraiser! And of
course there are door prizes too that everyone has a chance to win!
The bidding is based on the retail value of the item, so if you see an
item you want to bid on, just throw in the quarter value associated
with it into the bowl at your table. You then raise your numbered
paddle you were given when you walked in the door. Once all the
quarters are collected, a number is picked out of a big bucket of
numbered ping pong balls. If your number is picked....you WIN! If
your number was picked and you DID NOT bid on it, you have to do
the honor system and shout "NO BID". Numbers will be picked until a
winning number is called out. Here is the bid schedule:
$10-$20 Retail is a 1 quarter bid
$21-$40 Retail is a 2 quarter bid
$41-$60 Retail is a 3 quarter bid
$61 plus Retail is a 4 quarter bid
Where else can you win in a cricut cartridge for 50 cents or a basket
full of stickles for just a quarter?!?! Come to play and win!!
Don't forget your quarters!!! But just in case, we will have a banker
who will have quarters for you to swap out your dollar bills.
Here's who's coming to auction their items: Harbor Scrapbooking,
Cropmania, Scrap Editions, The Scrapbooker's Closet, Close To My
Heart, Creative Memories, Breezy Designs, Club Scrap, Stampin' UP,
and Silpada Designs.
