2024 Annual Kitchen & Garden Auction
We all have treats, goodies and special somethings that we make for ourselves, for our friends, or for gifts. Maybe it‘s home-baked bread, or maybe it‘s a special cake, or even half a dozen cupcakes. Or maybe it‘s not something baked, maybe it‘s a jar of soup, or jelly, or chutney, or salsa. Maybe it‘s not even edible, but a lovely skin cream, or home-made soap, or a bath bomb, or a sugar or salt scrub. Or maybe it is something else entirely but equally lovely.
You also might have a lovely plant, garden statue (or gnome) or maybe an extra hand tool or two that you think may like a new home.
Whatever you put together at home, we would like you to bring one (or more than one) to donate to our fund-raising Auction this March. If your item comes in a container, please make sure you do not need the container returned. You can set a minimum price or say something special about your item by taping a note on the item. If there is a story behind the item, please attach it. That makes it even more special. This helps the auctioneers drum up interest
