BBQ’d Productions celebrating 10 years
of red envelope campaign with stellar prizes
Golden tickets indicating top awards tucked into 300 of 5,300 envelopes
THIRD LAKE — Dining in this month at any of Kris Schoenberger’s restaurants will prove to be a golden experience for some lucky participants in his red envelope campaign.
This is the 10th year for the campaign, and the restaurateur has gone all out for prizes worthy of the benchmark anniversary. Tucked within 300 of the 5,300 red envelopes available will be golden tickets, whose holders will be invited to a top-prize distribution party at the Lehmann Mansion in Lake Villa on Thursday, March 20, 2025.
To obtain an envelope, one must dine in at BBQ’d Productions in Third Lake, Lake Zurich or Kenosha, Wisconsin, or at Station 51 in Antioch, between now and the end of the year, or as long as supplies last. To redeem the no-peek envelope, dine in again at any of the restaurants between Jan. 1, 2025, and Feb. 28, 2025. Only then can it be opened and the prize revealed.
At the March 20 celebration, all top prizes will be awarded, with the grand prize winner choosing from a Polaris Ranger utility vehicle, a Ski-Doo MXZ snowmobile or a Yamaha VX Cruiser wave runner. All are 2024 models from Nielsen Enterprises in Lake Villa, and each is valued at between $14,000 and $15,000, Schoenberger said.
“It’s an amazing party,” he added, noting that last year was the first year he included the soiree in his campaign. “Golden ticket holders enjoy a gourmet meal and live entertainment in one of the oldest and most beautiful mansions in existence. The architecture of the building is incredible. It’s gigantic, about 40,000 square feet, and in a gorgeous, gated, wooded setting.”
All red envelopes contain prizes, ranging from a free dessert to the golden tickets, which, aside from the grand prize, could bring the holder anything from a new Kitchen-aid mixer to a grill, a television and more.
Schoenberger said he is excited to continue the red envelope campaign, which as of 2025 will surpass $1 million in prizes awarded over the years.
“I think it’s important as a small business to give back to the people who support me and allow me to live my dream of being an entrepreneur,” said Schoenberger, who also operates Elyte Productions at the Lehmann Mansion, a wedding and events venue. “This creates excitement among our employees and excitement within the community. People talk about it all year.”
There is no limit to the number of red envelopes a customer can receive. Dine in a few times a week, and receive an envelope each time, while supplies last. BBQ’d Productions restaurants are located at 34121 Route 45 in Third Lake, 405 N. Rand Road in Lake Zurich and 4235 Green Bay Road in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Envelopes also are available at Station 51, 883 N. Main St., Antioch.
