Public Invited to Fairmount's 32nd Benefit Auction and Chicken Barbecue
Fairmount's 32nd Annual Benefit Auction is set for Saturday, September 11, although again in a slightly different format than earlier years, due to COVID-19 concerns. This year's auction will be held both in-person and in a Live Webcast format at New Covenant Mennonite Fellowship, 529 E. Farmersville Rd. in New Holland. Proceeds from this year's annual event will benefit the Sharing Fund, which goes toward the cost of care for residents who have exhausted their financial resources. Your contribution is greatly appreciated.
The day is set to begin at 6:30am with the opening of the flea market and a country breakfast (by donation) that includes eggs, bacon, sausage, French toast, orange juice, and much more. Homemade donuts and coffee will be available for sale as well, and food stands will open shortly after breakfast.
Online bidding for auction items will open Saturday, September 4, and continue until Saturday, September 11. The live auctions will open at 9:00am, Saturday the 11th, including a Silent Auction featuring Dining for Dollars events, which closes at 1:00pm, and a Children's Auction at 1:45pm. Auction items may be viewed by clicking here.
Auction items will be on display to preview in person at New Covenant Mennonite Fellowship on Friday, September 10 from noon until 5:00pm. Someone will be available to enter bids electronically for those who do not have computer access. On Saturday, September 11, items can be picked up by winning bidders until 3pm.
Auction items include quilts, theme baskets, gift certificates, new furniture, specialty Items, lawn furniture and plants. A new 5'x 10' trailer from Burkholder Manufacturing and a 1964 Ford 4000 tractor will be among the items to be auctioned, and again this year, a Quality Assurance Certified Angus steer will be auctioned in eighths. For anyone who does not have online access and cannot attend the Auction, an absentee bid form is available at the front desk of the Wheat Ridge building.
