Last year each participant received $122.46. One of the highlights of the dinner is the ticket drawing that gives you the chance to win cash. The last ticket left in the hopper is the big winner for the night. This year, in addition to the ticket drawing, Dan Patterson will perform during the meal. Tickets are $100.00 each for two people.
