A Night at the Races is a fun and interactive event designed to bring excitement and entertainment through a simulated horse racing experience, while supporting a great cause. Here's a breakdown of how it works: 1. Event Overview - The event includes food, fun, silent auctions, and the thrill of betting on horse races. Come dressed in your derby attire. - The races are pre-recorded, and the outcome is kept secret until the event takes place. This adds an element of suspense and enjoyment. 2. Wagering with "Funny Money" - Instead of using real money, participants use "Funny Money" to place wagers. - Each guest receives Funny Money with their ticket purchase. - The money is used for placing bets on six different pre-recorded races. 3. Betting Types: There are two types of bets: - Win Bet: Bet on which horse will win a specific race. - Daily Double Bet: Pick the winners of two consecutive races (Races 5 & 6). 4. Betting Limits: - Each wager costs $2 in Funny Money. - You can make one bet per race, but once you run out of Funny Money, you can no longer place wagers. 5. Winning: - Win Tickets: If you correctly pick a winning horse in a race, you'll win raffle tickets to be put in our fishbowl drawings (Larger prizes). 6. Prize Drawings: - At the end of the evening, we will draw the winners from the fishbowls. A Night at the Races offers a thrilling, low-risk experience where guests can enjoy the excitement of horse racing while contributing to a charitable cause. The goal is to place smart wagers and ultimately use your winnings to enter prize drawings for exciting giveaways.
