What would the Deep South Star Gaze be without door prize drawings? We have a long tradition of awarding door prizes. Door prizes are in part donated items and in part purchases made with registration funds. As donations become rarer and rarer every year we rely more and more on what we purchase to give away.
Note - to receive a door prize ticket you have to pay full registration - $25 per person/$35 per family will get you one door prize ticket which is good for the duration of the DSSG. Some elect to pay full registration for each member of the family and thus get one ticket per person. Those that pay "reduced registration" as per the registration form do not get a door prize ticket.
Our door prize drawings, as we have done the past several years, will be held at 3 pm each day starting on Tuesday afternoon and ending on Saturday afternoon. On Tuesday thru Thursday we will award one door prize at each drawing. On both Friday and Saturday we will award multiple prizes each day. I anticipate that we will give out approximately 14 to 15 items on Friday afternoon and another 14 or 15 on Saturday. After the drawing each day your door prize ticket is returned to the drawing so that potentially someone could win as many as 5 prizes over the course of the star gaze.
Everyone who has paid full registration will get their door prize ticket when they check in upon arrival and get their name badge and bunk assignment. Additionally all prizes have to be claimed in person at the time of the drawing. (The winner has to be present).
The attached pictures show the prizes that I have in my possession as of today, 9-22-18. I anticipate receiving other prizes from vendors.
What we have so far includes -
1 TeleVue 27 mm Panoptic Eyepiece 2"
1 TeleVue 18.2 mm DeLite Eyepiece 1.25"
1 ExploreScientific ES 62 26 mm Eyepiece 1.25"
1 ExploreScientific ES 62 5.5 mm Eyepiece 1.25"
1 Pair of Atlas 8x42 mm binoculars
1 Pair of Atlas 6.5x32 mm binoculars
1 Apache 4800 case
4 Apache 3800 cases
4 Apache 1800 cases
4 Centech 17 amp hours rechargeable batteries
These prizes represent an investment of $1600.00
…………………..and more to come!
