Proceeds from ticket sales are used for community betterment projects. It is also a way for the community to support the Lions and what they do to make Golden a great place to live, from building the public restroom on 12th Street to dugouts at Ulysses Park and awarding scholarships to seniors at Golden High School. For $5 each or five tickets for $20, you get a chance to win one of a number prizes including a grand prize of $1000 donated by the Lions Club. Also, the tickets are printed with coupons that can be used for discounts with local merchants. You don't have to be present to win. 7 winners are announced throughout the day with the grand-prize winner of $1000 before the end of the festival.
