Door Prize, Main Prize and Tailgater Prize Drawing - the Fine Print


DOOR PRIZE DRAWINGS: Each Admission Ticket stub gives you a chance to win one of many Door Prizes. Door prize drawings are held periodically throughout the Hamfest. Please DON'T FORGET to deposit your filled-out Admission Ticket stub in the barrel located in the Vendor Building. (Extensive research has shown that attendees who don't enter don't win.) You must claim a Door Prize in person, WITHIN 30 MINUTES of your winning ticket being announced.

MAIN PRIZE DRAWINGS: Each Admission Ticket stub also gives you a chance to win one of the four valuable Ham Radio Main Prizes. Please don't forget to deposit your filled-out Admission Ticket stub in the barrel located in the Vendor Building. (As with the Door Prizes, if you don't enter, you won't win!) You DO NOT NEED TO BE PRESENT to claim a Main Prize if your ticket stub is drawn.

ADDITIONAL MAIN PRIZE TICKETS: You can purchase additional tickets for MAIN PRIZE DRAWINGS ONLY at any time prior to the start of the Main Prize drawings. These tickets are not eligible for door prizes. AGAIN, YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE PRESENT to claim a Main Prize if your ticket is drawn. Additional Main Prize Drawing Tickets are priced at $3.00 each, two for $5.00 or 5 for $10.00.

Additional Main Prize tickets can also be ordered in advance. Payment for advance prize drawing ticket orders must be received by June 2, 2008. Email advance drawing ticket inquiries to k3erm@arrl.net.

TAILGATER PRIZE: Each Tailgating Space Ticket gives you one chance to win the cash Tailgater Prize. Please DON'T FORGET to deposit your filled-out Tailgating Ticket stub in the specially-marked tailgater prize barrel located in the Vendor Building. (If you don't enter, you won't win, guaranteed!) You DO NOT NEED TO BE PRESENT to claim the Tailgater Prize if your ticket is drawn.
