Red Wings to hold first Men's Night fundraiser

The Weyburn Red Wings will be hosting their first and hopefully annual Men’s Night at the McKenna Hall on Friday April 11.
The cost to attend is 35$, just coming to the night gets you entered in a cash draw for $500. You will also be treated to a roast beef supper and be given 10 gambling tokens for wagering on Men’s Night events.

These events include Celebrity Survivor, high/low Texas Hold ‘Em, simulated horse races, crib, Guitar Hero Championships etc. You can also group up with your friends and play whatever wagering games you want. The idea is to exchange the chips through competitive wagering so that at cash out time, the top thirty chip holders can be determined. Those thirty
are then able to take part in the ‘Calcutta Auction’, since they will be the only ones in possession of the recognized currency.

Up for sale in this auction are the 16 NHL playoff teams. The gentleman bidder who owns the team that ultimately wins the Stanley Cup will be crowned Men’s Night Champion, which earns him the privilege of deciding which charity receives half of the profits acquired through tickets sales to the Men’s Night Fundraiser. A champ will be crowned when the playoffs are over and when he is named it will be announced on the Glenn Rogers Morning Show on AM 1190.

For those of you who can’t give up a night to miss some playoff hockey, Men’s Night has you covered. Games will be played on big screen tv’s during the night so you can keep up to date on all the action. You will also have the opportunity to participate in several different kinds of hockey pools during the early rounds of the NHL’s playoffs.

Cocktails begin at 6 p.m. and supper will be at 7 p.m. Men’s Night events take place from 7:30 p.m. until 11 p.m. Cash out begins at 11 p.m. with the Calcutta Auction taking place at 11:30 p.m. until 12:30 a.m. Following the auction the $500 cash draw will end the evening.
