One Day Left to Save!

Happy Monday everyone! Today we had our regular Monday staff meeting and it got me even more excited for the Corndog Kickoff. In two weeks we will have completed what is sure to be another fun and successful event, and will be moving our focus onto our great State Fair!

 I am the intern that deals with the majority of ticket sales and organization before the big day, and I have noticed an increase in ticket orders the past week. I am assuming that people are scrambling to purchase their tickets to the event before they increase in price on July 1. So…take a hint from the very wise individuals who have been getting their tickets now, because the ticket price increases from $75 to $100 on Wednesday. That means one day left to save some money!

One of the many reasons that you should absolutely attend the 19^th annual Corndog Kickoff is the “Rags to Riches” game. I am specifically excited for this part of the evening because it is a great break during the live auction!

If you’re wondering what “Rags to Riches” is, then allow me to explain. Before we reach package #19 at the event, everyone is encouraged to purchase a souvenir bandana, or “rag,” for $10. During the live auction, after auction package #20, all those who have purchased a rag are invited to stand. At the beginning of the game, you hold the rag in your hand and you will choose to hold your rag up or keep it down at your side. The auctioneer will flip a coin – heads is rags up and tails is down. If you chose correctly you remain standing and continue to play; when you’re wrong, you sit down. The game continues until only one participant is left standing. This person will receive half of the amount made from the rag sales. Sounds like a fun way to win some some cash and test your luck, huh?

Take a look at some of the pictures from last year that I have included to get a better sense of the game.

Hope to see everyone at the 2015 Corndog Kickoff, Saturday, July 11!
