What is a Quarter Auction?
A quarter auction is a fundraiser that is part auction (bid amount) and part bingo (drawing of numbers). The cost to participate is $10.00 and this is paid at the door. No advance tickets are required.
The entrance fee includes 1 numbered paddle. To increase your chances, you can purchase additional numbered paddles for $3.00 each. The corresponding numbered chip will be put into the drawing basket for each paddle that you have. There are also All-In Paddles available for $40.00 each.
The auctioneer announces the item up for bid and if you are interested you place between 1 and 4 quarters in the basket. The number of quarters is based upon the value of the item. Then, if your number is drawn you win!
There was a wide variety of items up for bid including housewares, gift cards, tools, sports equipment and toys, etc.
In addition to the quarter action bidding there was a Taffy Pull, Chinese Auction and a Take a Chance Drawing for selected higher value items. A full snack bar was also available.

Thanks to everyone who attended our Iron Hill Brewery Fundraiser dinners which were held each Tuesday in October. It was a fun time for all, and the Delaware Seaside Railroad Club appreciates your support. The Iron Hill Brewery in Rehoboth Beach paid a 20% commission to the DSRC on each qualifying food bill making this Dine and Donate event an easy and enjoyable way to support the DSRC. Planning is already underway for more events of this type for 2025.
