The event is located at the Gateway Center (1 Gateway Drive, in Collinsville, IL).  We will be handing out tote bags near the front entrance.

​

Do I need a paper ticket to get my tote bag?

No paper tickets are necessary, as we use an electronic registration system to check in guests by name.  If you have purchased tickets for multiple people, please contact to let us know the names of the guests that will also be picking up tote bags.

 

How do I pay if I win a silent auction item or want to make a donation?

Credit card is the preferred method of payment, we will also be able to accept cards during pick-up.

 

Can tickets be purchased at the door?

This is still a work in progress, please contact to confirm closer to the event.

 

Do you need to be 21 to participate?

Normally, our in-person event includes wine, liquor and beer tastings so all guests must be 21.  This year, due to the to-go format, our tote bags will not include alcoholic beverages so anyone can purchase!
