All “Early Bird” participants will receive a ticket at the event. All other participants can purchase a ticket at the raffle table. All ticket stubs will be placed in a barrel and one winner will be selected. In the event that an “Early Bird” purchaser is not at the event, if a selection was not premade, a Rainbow Auction representative will randomly draw a number equal to the number of items in the Live Auction and award the winner the item with the same number. The winner may choose an item from the Live Auction items.

All ticket stubs will be placed in a barrel to select a winner in the event that the winning code was not purchased.

There will be one winner. “Heads or Tails”: All “Early Bird” participants will receive a ticket at the event. All other participants can purchase a ticket at the raffle table. At game time, all participants will stand. Each participant must decide if they want “Heads” by placing their hands on their head or “Tails” by placing their hands on their tails. The announcer will flip a coin declaring the winner as heads or tails. When an incorrect guess is made, the participant must sit down and is out of the game. In the event that an “Early Bird” purchaser is not at the event, a Rainbow Auction representative will play for the purchaser. There will be only 1 winner.
“Gift Card Grab-Everyone Wins”: All participants will receive a ticket to redeem for a prize drawn at random. In the event that an “Early Bird” purchaser is not at the event, a Rainbow Auction representative will draw for the purchaser.

14 Southern BreakfastFor the fifteen years prior to coming north to Pure Michigan, Ken and Kathy lived south of the Mason Dixon line in western Kentucky. If you listen carefully when their speech patterns slows down, you will catch two syllable words transformed into three, a southern drawl when pronouncing words like nine, flower and oil, and the use of the word y’all when addressing an individual or group. During those years, the Rasp family gathered after Mass every Sunday morning for a southern breakfast and family conversation. The time spent as family was special, the conversation genuine and insightful, and the food incredible. Join the Rasps on a Sunday morning after Mass or Church Services for a good ole family Southern breakfast, including such delectibles as biscuits and country gravy, sausage, eggs, cheesy grits, buttermilk waffles, home fries, and cream cheese cinnamon rolls. Like any good southern household, the bar will be open, serving Mimosas, Bloody Marys, Lemonade, Sweet Tea, Kentucky Bourbon, and of course a wonderful cup of Kentucky coffee.

50 Game of Thrones Journey6-Night Stay in Dublin, Antrim Coast, Belfast and Historic Castles, Guinness VIP Tickets, Rental Car for 2This Experience Includes:Cassidys Hotel, Dublin - night 1Ballygally Castle Hotel, Antrim Coast - nights 2 & 3Europa Hotel, Belfast - nights 4 & 5Clontarf Castle Hotel, Dublin - night 6 with 3-course dinner for 2Daily breakfast for 2Giant’s Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage SiteDunluce Castle admissionVIP tickets to the Guinness Storehouse6-day rental of a manual/stick shift carWinspire booking & concierge service
Gearing up for its eighth and final season on HBO, Game of Thrones began as a scrappy upstart launched by two TV novices in 2011 and will finish its run in 2019 as the most popular show in the world. The show airs in more than 170 countries and holds the record for most Emmys ever won by a prime-time series. Much of the show is filmed in Northern Ireland, including The Kingsroad, Winterfell, The Wall and Dragonstone. For those who have not yet binge-watched this show, A Game of Thrones is the first novel in A Song of Ice and Fire, a series of fantasy novels by George R.R. Martin.This 7-day tour will take you into the very heart of the Seven Kingdoms landscape. Stand on the spot where Lannisters schemed, stroll in the footsteps of the Starks, and gaze on grasslands crossed by the Dothraki horde. Itinerary:
Day 1 - Arrival Day - DublinDublin, the largest city in Ireland, is a 30 minute ride by taxi or bus from the airport. Today you will visit Ireland’s biggest tourist attraction - the Guinness Storehouse. With your VIP passes, skip the line and learn about the history of one of the world’s most famous breweries. Enjoy a complimentary pint of Guinness and an astonishing view of the city at Gravity, the “bar in the sky” on the top floor. Other attractions you can explore in the city are Jameson Distillery, Trinity College, Dublin Castle, Kilmainham Goal, and St. Patrick Cathedral. Stay overnight at the Cassidys Hotel (3-star).
Day 2 - Dublin to Ballygally CastlePick up your rental car (included) and make your way to Ballygally Castle Hotel. Perched on the tip of the famous Causeway Coastal Route, Ballygally Castle Hotel dates back to 1625 and is the only 17th Century building still used as a residence in Northern Ireland today. It is the perfect base for exploring the stunning Antrim Coast and the Game of Thrones
35
locations. During filming, cast and crew were frequently found relaxing at the Castle. Situated on the scenic Antrim Coast Road with views to Scotland, Ballygally Castle is 26 miles north of Belfast. Overnight at Ballygally Castle.
Day 3 – Antrim Coastal Route Head out to explore the stunning Antrim Coast, known as one of the World’s Great Road Journeys. The stunning scenery within the Causeway Coast and Glens was used to represent everything from Winterfell to the Kingsroad, The Iron Islands to the Stormlands. Northern Ireland’s greatest natural attraction is the Giant’s Causeway; while not featured in Game of Thrones, it simply cannot be missed. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a five-mile long stretch of coastline which is famous for its bizarre basalt columns. On a jagged outcrop high above the waves sits the ruins of Dunluce Castle or House of Greyjoy, as Game of Thrones fans know it. A tour of the castle is included. Further down the road is Downhill Strand, famous for its seven mile stretch of golden sand. This is where Lady Melisandre burned the seven gods of Westeros in sacrifice to R’hllor. Your final stop of the day is the Dark Hedges. This haunting avenue of serpentine beech trees was used to depict the Kingsroad. This is where Arya disguised herself as a boy to avoid capture. Return to Ballygally Castle Hotel for another night.
Day 4 – Belfast CityIn recent years, Belfast has reinvented itself as one of the top-rated tourist destinations in the world; Lonely Planet has named Belfast and the Causeway Coast in Northern Ireland as the best place to visit in 2018. Start your day with a drive through the green Shillanavogy Valley where the ferocious Dothraki hoard set up camp. This verdant valley was transformed into the swaying grasslands of Vaes Dothrak. Continue past the Magheramore Quarry, the iconic backdrop to Castle Black and Hardhome. In reality, Magheramore is a small hamlet of about 75 people that’s home to an old stone quarry. The cement plant closed in 1980, and the quarry now acts primaily as a set for Game of Thrones. Arrive at the Europa Hotel, one of the world’s most famous hotels, located in the heart of Belfast. Beautifully restored, the Europa hotel is a five-minute walk to the shopping district, museums, theaters and the restaurants and bars in the golden mile. The Grand Opera House, Titanic Belfast, the Waterfront Hall and Odyssey Arena are also close by. Overnight at Europa Hotel.
Day 5 – Tollymore Park, Inch Abbey & Belfast CityYour first stop today is Tollymore Forest Park which made its mark in Game of Thrones as the Haunted Forest. This park is framed by the Mourne Mountains, featured in many background scenes. Continue to the 12th century Inch Abbey, where Catelyn Stark heard of Ned’s death, where Jaime was captured and where Robb was crowned King. The surrounding countryside will look familiar, as this is where Arya and the Hound’s uneasy relationship kept us spellbound as they navigated the rugged landscape to reach
36
the Red Fork. In the afternoon, return to Belfast City. One of the city’s most interesting attractions is the Titanic Exhibition Center, the historic shipyard where the RMS Titanic, the world’s most famous ship, was built. Paint Hall Studios, one of Europe’s largest film studios (and where Game of Thrones is produced) sits on an eight-acre site in the Titanic Quarter of Belfast. Overnight at Europa Hotel.
Day 6 – Belfast to DublinContinue exploring Belfast at your leisure before driving to Dublin (approximately 2 hours). En route, you can stop at Monasterboice, site of the best known collection of High Crosses and Mellifont Abbey. Discover a lost world of Irish Christianity and explore the tranquil historic remains. Continue to Dublin City for your final night in Ireland. Enjoy a 3-course dinner (excluding beverages) and an overnight stay in the beautiful Clontarf Castle Hotel (4-star). Originally built in 1172 as part of an inner circle of defense sites protecting Dublin during battles, the Castle was opened in 1998 as a 4-star hotel and has undergone a 10 million Euro upgrade and renovation. Located just 10 minutes from the heart of Dublin’s city center and 5 miles from Dublin Airport, the Clontarf Castle Hotel is an oasis, tucked away in a tranquil setting, surrounded by fabulous golf courses and the sounds of lapping waters from the Irish Sea.
Day 7Enjoy a full Irish breakfast at Clontarf Castle. Check out of the hotel and drive to nearby Dublin Airport where you will return the rental car and say farewell to Ireland. Note: The listed properties are subject to availability, in a standard category room. Comparable alternatives may be booked.
Rental CarEnjoy a 6-day manual/stick shift* car rental (Day 2-Day 7); pick up in Dublin city center, return at Dublin Airport. Rental includes VAT, collision damage waiver insurance, theft protection insurance and unlimited mileage. Does not include drop-off fee when returning car at airport.
