Beer Stein Hoist

Have you got what it takes?  Then get ready to hoist a beer stein with your arms out and feel the burn.  Men and women are invited to participate in the competition!  This is the ultimate test of arm and shoulder strength.  How does it work?

Rules: Contestants must hold a stein filled to the top with beer at arm's length for as long as possible.  The arm cannot be bent and must remain parallel to the floor.  Any spillage spells disqualification.  The winner is the last man, or woman, standing, arm outstretched and unbent, with a full mug.

Wine Pull

Enjoy the wine pull again this year.  Purchase your "wine pull" ticket which guarantees a bottle of wine.  Pull your selection from wrapped bottles of wine.  This is your chance to pull a top quality bottle for a cheap price.  Every participant wins!

Heads or Tails

Beaded necklaces are available for $10 each. Multiple necklaces may be purchased for additional opportunities to win.

Early during the Live Auction, master of ceremonies (MC) will explain the rules and conduct a practice round.  To start the game, the MC asks all the participants to stand up. The MC then announces: “Place your hands on your head (heads) or on your bottom (tails).” Every participant chooses by placing their hands on their head or their tail.  The MC flips a coin. If it lands on heads, then all those with their hands on their heads remain standing. Those with their hands on their tails gives up a beaded necklace or sit down, if they are out of beaded necklaces. Or visa versa if the coin lands on tails.

Play continues until one person remains standing. That person is the winner and wins 50% of the pot up to $250!

Achtung, fertig, los!

Ready...Set...Go!
