How does the Silent Auction work?

Every guest will receive a bidder number. Simply write your bidder number and bid (based on the increments on the bid sheet). The highest bid wins the item. Be the 7th bidder on a bid sheet and you will be entered into the "Lucky 7" raffle.

How does the Live Auction work?

To enter a bid, raise your bidder paddle. A bid is official only when formally recognized and called by the auctioneer. When the auctioneer calls "SOLD", legal title to the article passes to the highest bidder.

When and where do I get my winning items?

You can claim your winning items at the end of the night in the pick-up room. Auction items can also be picked up on Sunday, April 15th between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm.

Anything else I need to know?

All sales are final! There will be no exchanges or refunds. Unless otherwise specified, all Auction items and services must be used within one year of Auction night, April 14, 2018.
