Quartermania – I have recently been hearing of such an event, but wasn’t really sure what it was. That is why a recent e-mail from Cathy, a member of the Elkridge Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary intrigued me.

The next Quartermania will take place at the Elkridge Volunteer Fire Department, 6275 Old Washington Blvd., Thursday, Sept. 25. The doors open at 6 pm and bidding begins at 7. Be sure to bring plenty of quarters! For advance tickets or for more information, please call Tami Scovitch 410-615-3953.

It appears that Quartermania is a monthly event over at the Elkridge Fire Department, and Cathy’s e-mail explains it all. In case you are wondering or are interested, here is how it works.

Quartermania is like a cross between Bingo and a raffle, but it is easier to play then Bingo and your chances of winning are much higher. The evening features items offered from many different home party show vendors. Each consultant brings at least 10 of their products to be bid on. Bids are made in quarters – the number of quarters depends on the retail cost of the item. An item valued between $10-$25 requires a one-quarter bid, between $26-$50 a two-quarter bid, $51-$75 valued items require three quarters and $76 and higher requires a four-quarter bid.
