Cash, check, or debit card is needed to play the games (credit cards not accepted). An ATM is available onsite, if needed. Games close at 7 p.m. on October 11.

Wine wall

  • $20 to play, guaranteed to win

  • Purchase a flower from a volunteer, either at the Wine Wall in the Great Hall or roaming throughout the pre-event space. The tag on the flower will correlate to a bottle of wine on the shelf. Volunteers will package your bottle and have it ready for you to take home at Check Out in the Great Hall at the end of the evening.

Restaurant Gift Card Pull

  • $50 to play, guaranteed to win

  • Locate the volunteers with the gold baskets. Pick an envelope from the basket to reveal a gift card from some of the Twin Cities most beloved restaurant partners including Craft & Crew Hospitality, Bûcheron, Pizza Luce, and dozens more.
