The biggest, best and most fun fundraiser ever created to pull-you-out-of-your-house-in-winter, takes place Saturday, February 29 -- CARNEVALE VERGENNES!
Below is a guide to help you make the most of your Carnevale Vergennes experience:

$1 Tickets are the Name of the Game!
$1 tickets (in a variety of colors) are a must to fully experience all that Carnevale Vergennes has to offer. When you arrive, go directly to the ticket booth or to one of the roaming ticket sellers and buy a boatload of tickets. The math is easy - 20 tickets for $20! Cash or credit at the ticket booth, cash only via roaming ticket sellers. IMMEDIATELY put the tickets that say "KEEP THIS COUPON" in your pocket, and use the matching ticket for everything else. Later in the evening, your ticket may be called to win any number of prizes so you will need your "KEEP THIS COUPON" portion to match your ticket in case you win!
PRO TIP: Buy your batches of 20 tickets in different colors to make it easier for you during the raffle segments. For instance, if a yellow ticket is pulled, and all you have is red, you can stand down. If you have a yellow ticket...you can pay attention.

Use the $1 Tickets to Play Games and Win PRIZES!
Four amazing oversized games of skill, luck and some with competitive elements, are stationed around the Opera House...this includes the back-by-popular-demand giant PLINKO game. Each game costs ONE ticket to play! Just ONE! If you win, you get a prize token that you take to the PRIZE GALLERY for your suprise prize.
AND if you win your game, your ticket is eligible to be entered to win one of three spectacular grand prizes (see below).
PRO TIP: Be sure to pick up a free swag bag to hold all your prizes!

$1 Ticket for Chance to Win One of Three Amazing Grand Prizes
There are two ways to win a chance at one of the three grand prizes:
1) Win at a game and your $1 ticket goes into one of the three GRAND PRIZE RAFFLE collection bowls.
2) Forgo a game and put your ticket(s) directly into the bowl(s) corresponding to the grand prize that grabs your interest.
REMEMBER: Never let go of your "Keep this Coupon" ticket...you will need that later.
The Grand Prizes:
Vergennes Staycation: An amazing array of fabulous things to do, places to eat, experiences to enjoy, year-round, in and around the little city of Vergennes.
Newport, RI Stay & Sail: Two nights at a charming vintage bed and breakfast in the heart of Newport and a sunset sail aboard the yacht Aquidneck on Narraganset Bay.
Venice, Italy 4-nights at the exclusive Ca'Sagredo Hotel. A meticulously renovated 15th-century palace located between Ca' d'Oro and the Rialto Bridge on the spectacular Grand Canal in Venice, Italy.

Strut on the Runway!
For 50 tickets (or $50), you can nominate a friend, or enter yourself into the night’s main event, the RUNWAY SHOW! VOTE on your favorite fashion using your $1 tickets. One ticket equals one vote but you can vote as much as you want! If your vote was in the winner's pile of tickets, you might also win a prize!
The WINNER of the Runway Show receives a two-night stay at the beautiful Basin Harbor Resort.

From the moment the doors open (7:30pm) and all the way past midnight, D.J. Fattie B will be cranking the tunes from the music console for a full night of exceptional music. Plenty of room to dance in between the games, the runway and all the other amazing accoutrements peppered throughout the historic Opera House. Let your dancing diva OUT and have a blast!
