Catch the fun, excitement and prizes! If you would like to be a contestant on the show, you must arrive 5 – 10 minutes prior to show time and be between the ages of 3 – 15 years old to be eligible! You could be the big winner!

​

HOW THE GAME IS PLAYED:

​

Nine contestants between the ages of three and fifteen are chosen from the audience by a raffle system. The contestants are divided into three groups based on their size and physical ability. Each group of three contestants plays wild and crazy games to determine a winner. The winner of each moves into the winners’ circle to await the final round and the runners-up all receive a prize.

​

When all three semi finalists have been determined, the final round is played. In this round the semifinalists “spin to win” on the winners wheel. Age and size give no one an advantage. Only lady luck knows who will win this round! The one who spins the highest number is the grand champion and enters the money chamber where they have 30 seconds to grab as many Kidbuck$ as they can as they swirl about the chamber. The Kidbuck$ are redeemed for prizes based on the number of bucks collected. Additionally at the end of the show, one more ball from the raffle machine is drawn and the person that is holding that ticket wins a prize as well.
