Hurry, Hurry! Kansas City Royals Tickets

MUST HURRY!   Deadline is 5 p.m. Friday, July 25, 2014.

The museum has received four (4) Kansas City Royals Tickets.  They were to be used in a silent auction, but because the tickets are for this season (2014) and the date of Bingo has been moved to a later date, we wanted to give people an opportunity to win these tickets.

All four tickets will go to one person.

The suggested donation is $5 to enter this drawing.

Download the following pdf, fill it out, and mail to the museum with your donation.
