Basket Bonanza

October 12, 2024

Welcome, Everyone!





We’re excited to let you know our plans for this year’s Basket Bonanza on Saturday Oct. 12. Last year’s extended preview times were well received, so we are keeping them, AND bringing back our light refreshments during returning evening preview hour. With that in mind, here’s the schedule for the week of the Basket Bonanza:

Basket Donations/Drop-off: during the week, our wrapping team will be in the Fellowship Hall from 7 to 8:30 each night to accept donated baskets. (Remember, each donated basket earns you 5 free tickets!)

Saturday, Oct. 12: preview hours from 10 am to 4 pm, as well as 5 pm to 6 pm.

Ticket pulling begins at 6 pm.

Admission $15: 1 sheet of tickets, 1 Grand Prize basket ticket, 1 Door Prize ticket.

  • Patrons enter through double door by church office.
    • Two (separated) admission tables will be set up in the hall. When purchasing your admission, we’ll be keeping track of the admission ticket number, your name, phone number, and preferred pickup slot on a spreadsheet.
  • Additional Tickets table: will follow the same format: ticket numbers on a sheet; write your name and phone number, with preferred pickup time.
  • Patron then goes through the tables, placing tickets in the cups corresponding to the basket numbers. Once you have gone through the tables, the exit is through the kitchen door.
  • Admission will pause at 4 pm. Between 4 and 5 pm, our kitchen staff will be setting up and getting the light refreshments ready.
  • Admission will resume for one last hour of preview, from 5 pm to 6 pm.
    • If you purchased an admission and came during the daytime hours, you can present your ticket stub and re-enter the Fellowship Hall for the evening preview/ticket pulling.
  • Tickets will be pulled starting at 6 pm, with livestream available for those at home.
  • As part of the Admission Packet, each patron will get the web address for the livestream. The flyer will also have a space for you to write down what time you picked for basket pickup, as well as a reminder that you must bring the ticket stub to claim the basket.
Ticket Pulling:
  • Our emcee Bob and his lovely assistant Barb will pull the tickets, and announce each winning ticket number. As they pull the winning ticket, that number will be recorded on a spreadsheet and the ticket itself taped to the corresponding basket.
Basket Pickup:
  • Once the tickets are all pulled, and the Grand Prize awarded, basket pickup starts at 7:30 pm. We’ll have pickup on Saturday night (until 8:00 pm) and then again on Sunday afternoon (12 to 1 pm) for those who did not come to the in-person part of the event.
  • List of winning tickets/baskets (no names) to be posted on Facebook and church webpage for reference.
  • We will have “personal shoppers” to escort the basket winner to their basket(s) (and assist in getting to car, if necessary). Remember: your ticket stub(s) is required to claim your basket(s)—including the Grand Prize.

Thank you to all who came to this year's event! We had a great time seeing you all throughout the day, and although we didn't get to see your reactions live when the baskets were handed out, we had some great feedback on the Facebook Live feed and when our winners came to pick up their baskets!


We'll keep this page up for a few weeks so you can enjoy the replay of the event.
