What's Going on at Chehaw
Monday, August 7th, 2023
Be transported to Las Vegas at our fun-filled casino night! Try your luck at a variety of live action game tables like blackjack, craps, roulette, and Texas hold 'em. When you win, you earn tickets that you can enter as chances at our fabulous prizes. Enjoy live music, refreshing beverages, and tasty treats from our food stations all evening. And, most of all, come to play. We promise that what happens at Chehaw, stays at Chehaw!
Your $75 ticket provides admission for one at the event with food stations, a drink ticket for signature cocktails, beer, and wine at our cash bar, $2500 casino bucks (play money), live music, and raffle at the end of the night!
What are the Casino Bucks (play money)? When you arrive at Creekside and check-in, you will receive a voucher for your "casino bucks" for each individual ticket purchased. You will take this voucher to a dealer and receive chips to gamble with throughout the night. At the end of the evening, your dealer will cash out your winnings into tickets. These raffle tickets can be placed into any of the three grand prize boxes.
Don't worry, if you run out of play money we have a buy back in option. You can purchase an additional $2500 casino bucks voucher for $10 at the bank.
Proceeds from this event directly benefit our beloved Chehaw Park and Zoo, thank you for supporting this wonderful cause!
