three age categories. We work hard to make the
event fun for all levels of players. Whether you’re an
apprentice or tycoon, Richy Rich or Donald Trump, the
JA Monopoly Tournament is an event worth attending!
Prizes will be awarded to the top three players in
each age category (4th-8th grade, 9th-12th grade
and adults). We will also have some amazing real life
flight simulators provided by Aviation Education North
Dakota (AEND)!
The cost to enter is $7 for students, $10 for adults
and includes lunch. Pre-registration is preferred and
available at the online at www.bismarckmandan.com/
events/ Day-of registration will begin at 9 a.m. Play
commences at 10 a.m. for the 90-minute qualifying
round. All qualifying round winners are invited to play
