Mega-Raffle
During the Party in Parrot-dise
The “Mega-Raffle Extravaganza” is a reverse raffle, where players are eliminated as numbers are called & the final number wins . There are only 200 tickets available ($10 ea) For only $10 you get a 1 in 200 chance to win prizes in excess of $1000 AND a walk in Aviary provided by Centurion Cages.
​
When only 5 numbers remain, their holders will be invited on stage where they'll have a chance to sell their tickets to the highest bidder. After bids are made another ticket is drawn & the process continues until only two tickets are left. The remaining two contestants will have a final chance to sell or hold their tickets & the final drawing will take place. Last ticket is the winner.
These reverse raffles are very entertaining and provide an evening of suspense and revelry. You can buy tickets when you register for Parrot Festival, at the Conference or at the NPRPF Online Store. We hope you enjoy this year's Party in Parrot-dise!
You may attend the Party in Parrot-dise with the purchase of a Mega-Raffle ticket if you are not registered for the entire conference.

so to speak."
Matt Baird

"I was just enjoying Nyla Copp's presentation on "Get the Flock Out" and "Out on a Limb". How much it made me want to build an aviary full of all kinds of fun things for the birds. And make lots of toys with stuff I have around the house sitting in buckets & barrels. ”
