Keep Reading for all the Puzzle Competition Details…

Each team will complete the same puzzle (1000-piece for teams of 4 and 500-piece for teams of 2) starting at 6:00. The first teams to complete their puzzles, or the teams closest to completion at 8:00 p.m., WIN CASH PRIZES!!

Puzzle-making begins at 6:00 sharp. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Arrive early to claim your table, enjoy some eats & drinks, and get settled in.

And, just to add a little more fun… don’t forget some extra cash to help give your team a competitive advantage with our “pay to play” game board! Invest in obstacles like making everyone except your team take a break, or make all competitors use only one hand for 5 minutes. And don’t be surprised if we play a quick game of musical chairs to break the tension! We’ll also have door prizes available!

We’re getting CREATIVE to ensure you have a FUN evening and a chance to win some cold hard CASH, all while supporting the arts, culture, and community! Your participation and generosity will make a meaningful difference in the lives of our rural residents, visitors, artists, and all who participate in our community programs and events.
