2026 Annual Convention & Trade Show

The Hot Seat Hustle

How to Play: Ten numbers chairs will be sold for $50/chair. Buyers will sit in the purchased chairs. Then numbers 1 – 10 will be placed into a hat. Two numbers will be pulled out of the hat. The numbers drawn will be out of the game. One chair is removed and the other empyt chair is auctioned off to the highest bidder. The highest bidder takes the empty seat. This process is repeated until only two chairs remain. The individual seated in the chair of the next number drawn is out. The last person seated is the winner! 

Price: $50/chair for initial buy in. Live auction for the rest of the game. 

The Golden Ticket

How to Play: MSF will have one deck of cards for purchase. Buyers will select a card, rip it in half and keep one half. The other half will be put in a raffle box and the winner will be drawn prior to the dessert auction. 

Prize: Your choice of dessert from the dessert auction.

Price: $20 per card

Plinko

How to Play: To play, simply drop a token into one of the holes at the top edge of the frame. Watch it bounce from peg to peg until it lands in a slot. If you land in the highlighted slots you get a raffle ticket to drop in a prize basket of your choice. Prizes will be announced after the live auction at the Sunset Banquet. Plinko tokens can be purchased for 1 chance for $5 or 3 chances for $10.

Price: 1 for $5 or 3 for $10

Ring Toss

How to Play: The object is to toss a ring around a bottle. Successful tosses will win that bottle. The game lasts until all bottles are gone. Rings can be purchased for 1 chance for $5 or 3 chances for $10.

Prize: Liquor Bottle

Price: 1 for $5 or 3 for $10

Heads & Tails

How to Play: Our Sunset Banquet emcee will ask all Heads and Tails participants to stand up. Then participants select either “heads” or “tails” by putting their paint stick on their heads—or their tails! The emcee flips a coin and announces whether the coin came up heads or tails. Those participants whose choice matches the coin flip get to stay standing—everyone else sits down. The emcee continues asking participants to select “heads” or “tails,” then flipping the coin, eliminating more players until only a handful are left. 

Then the few finalists come to the stage for the last few coin tosses until only one player is left standing. The last player left standing will win a prize! 

Buying multiple paint sticks gives you a second chance! Use your additional paint sticks to keep yourself in the game. Once you run out of paint sticks, you are completely eliminated. Paint sticks can be bought for $5/stick. 

Price: $5/stick
