Dianne Packee and Jon Looney joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about the upcoming Quarter Madness on March 14, 2025. The Kewanee Rotary Club is set to host its 14th annual Quarter Madness event at the Kewanee Elks Lodge, bringing the community together for an evening of excitement and philanthropy. The event kicks off at 6:30 PM, with doors opening at 5:45 PM. Attendees can secure their paddles online to participate in the lively auction, which supports vital local projects like the Prairie Chicken Arts Festival. This event not only offers a chance to win unique items but also strengthens community ties through shared purpose. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to contribute to Kewanee’s vibrant spirit!

Gold paddles are $30 each, but you must play in person. Platinum paddles are $40 for those who can’t attend but want us to play on your behalf. Both options grant equal chances in every round. Dianne Packee said, "Plus, don’t miss the chance to bring home the SUPER CHICKEN—a unique and beautiful protector for your home and garden." But act fast—paddles are limited! For details or to purchase, call Dianne at 309-312-0168!

White paddles can only be purchased at the door and require quarters to ”bid” for items. A white paddle will require quarters to be eligible to win. You select the items you would like to win for additional chances.

Previews of the items up for bid will be on the Rotary Club of Kewanee Facebook page. Check it out for pictures and sign up today to be in it to win it!

Items will not be mailed or shipped. Pick up your prizes after Quarter Madness. This year, Platinum Paddles can specify an alternate pickup person in case they are unavailable to collect their prizes.
