Dixon Quarter Mania announced that the April 22, 2016, event at the Dixon Elks Lodge, 1279 Franklin Grove Road, Dixon, IL, will support the Dixon Lioness Club. Doors open to the public at 5:00 p.m., with dinner available. The event takes place from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Dixon Lioness Club always helps others in need. They are a nonprofit organization that needs the community’s support. All funds raised go to the local community: local food pantries, Good Fellows, Thanks Giving Baskets, Easter Baskets for Veterans, Happy Tails, PADS Shelter, Shining Star, Home of Hope.
Dixon Quarter Mania is a group of direct sales leaders, crafters, and local businesses who hold regular Quarter Mania events in Dixon. The event was the first of its kind in the Sauk Valley. Each Quarter Mania event supports a charitable organization and is innovative and fun!
A Quarter Mania event is a cross between an auction, a raffle, and a vendor show, wrapped into one. New and discontinued items from local vendors will be auctioned off for one-to-four quarters per item. Vendors will also have cash-and-carry items available for sale. Food and beverages are available for purchase. There will be a 50/50 raffle with tickets available for purchase the evening of the event, donated to Dixon Lioness Club. Ticket prices are: one ticket for $1, six tickets for $5, and 15 tickets for $10.

“We are proud to support this talented group of people that are involved with the Lioness Club,” said Event Coordinator Ashely Anderson, Director of Dixon Quarter Mania. “This is a special Quarter Mania, featuring several silent auction items and a variety of exciting vendors from the area.”
At Quarter Mania, each item up for bid will be displayed for all guests to see. The auctioneer will give a brief description, retail value, and how many quarters you will need to bid. Guests will give their bid (quarters) and hold up their numbered paddle. The numbered paddles sell for: $5 for one; $8 for two; $10 for three.
