START PLANNING FOR THE 2026 AUCTION. This is our annual get together to visit with friends and bring home fiber-related tools, equipment, books, raw fiber, yarn, yarn and more yarn! The Auction is a fundraising event for the Guild. The silent bidding and live auction make for a fun day with fiber friends.
The Auction is a win-win-win event. You pass along items that have been taking up space in your closet, someone gets an item they can use, and the Guild raises money that benefits the members. And, it’s great fun. What’s not to like about that?
This is a great opportunity to go through your stash and declutter! Deb Light or Bonnie Roos will be accepting donations in August. Contact either of them with your questions. Donations can be dropped off on the day of set-up, December 2, from noon – 4pm. We need all donations prior to the day of the auction, if possible. Please try not to bring items on the day of the auction.
We will need volunteers. Help is needed for both set-up the day before and on auction day.
The auction will be in the Auditorium A at Fort Casey. There should be plenty of parking around the area. Please bring your own lunch. Note – only officially trained service animals are allowed. We also recommend that you wear your name tag.
The auction will be divided into two parts as in the past. The silent auction begins at 10 AM. No bids will be allowed before 10. Auction tables will close sequentially. After lunch our own auctioneer, Ann Smith, starts the live auction.
Payment for auction items can be made by cash, check or credit card.
