Create an account Assets:Current Assets:Cash Box and transfer whatever amount 
you want into it. Book all of the receipts into that account (you can batch 
them up if you don't feel the need to track them individually). At the end of 
the event the Cash Box account and the cash on hand should be the same. Your 
deposit back into the bank account is a simple transfer transaction just like 
the starting withdrawal.
