The 2024 ONLINE SILENT AUCTION
We are once again offering the online silent auction through 32auctions.com. We hope you like the bells and whistles added last year: you can see your bid posted immediately; sign up to be notified if (or when) you are outbid; and enter a “proxy bid” !Bidding begins at noon on Sunday, September 1st and will continue right through the Fair weekend until 5 pm on Sunday, September 8th.
The high bid in hand for each item at 5 pm on the 8th will win. Winners will be notified via email within 48 hours and arrangements will be made to connect you with your treasure. All of that is coming soon… so stay tuned!
Some of the items donated so far include a landscaping consult with Cyndy Fine, cloth items by Laura Taylor, stained glass from Maple Leaf Designs, passes to shows at NextStage, useful tools, and jewelry new and old, as well as store and restaurant gift certificates! And perhaps of particular interest:
