Prizes include designer purses, power tools, gift cards, and themed baskets—all up for grabs with just a few quarters. Proceeds help fund community projects through Kewanee Rotary and the Prairie Chicken Arts Festival. The Gold paddle, which offers the best value and entry for every item at the in-person event, and the White paddle, available only onsite the night of Quarter Madness. Each person can buy up to two white paddles. Bidding with white paddles involves placing quarters for each item, giving everyone a shot at fantastic prizes for just change.
