Q: What are “Keycon Bucks”
A: We will be doing Prize draws for “Keycon Bucks” that we ask all dealers to honour (You will be reimbursed). We are doing this to help encourage more customers in the dealers room. In order to be entered to win Keycon Bucks a person must make a purchase at a dealers table. For every $10 dollars they spend they will receive a ballot for the draw, to be handed out by the dealer. Draws will take place at several points throughout the weekend. Signs will be posted.
