"ARREST IN JEST" - FRIDAY, NOV. 15

WE'RE PUTTING THE "FUN" IN "FUNDRAISER"

It will be a community-wide round-up of “offenders.”

We will be cuffing & stuffing "violators" from 9am - 5pm on Friday, November 15 and holding them in our jail until they raise enough money to bond out.

Who determines who gets locked up? YOU DO!

For $25, you can file charges and an arrest-in-jest warrant will be issued for the violator of your choice.  Our marshalls will then contact the violators and arrange for them to peacefully turn themselves in or be picked up and hauled in.  Those violators will be locked in our Prairie Village Jail where they may either post their own bail or make calls until they raise $100 to get bailed out.  For an additional $50 "hush money," offenders can avoid going to jail altogether.

Want to make it even more fun & profitable for the museum?  Accept our CHALLENGE!  Spend 30 minutes in lock-up raising as much money as you can.  Then you can issue a warrant for anyone of your choosing for FREE and CHALLENGE THEM to raise even more than you did!
