\"quarters\"There’s a new fundraiser in town, and this one promises to be a lot of fun!<\/p>\n

On Friday, January 29th, there will be a “quarter auction” at the Moose Lodge in Elizabethtown, with the proceeds from the admission fee, the raffles, and the bake sale going to Aaron’s Journey.<\/p>\n

So what’s a “quarter auction” you may ask? Well, I asked the same thing, and it works like this:<\/p>\n

1. The $5 admission fee gets you a number. Additional numbers can be purchased for $1.<\/p>\n

2. Each vendor will put 4 items up for bid, one item at a time, and depending on the item it will be assigned a value of between 1 and 4 quarters.<\/p>\n

3. When the item for auction is announced you put your quarter(s) bid in the container in the middle of the table and hold up your number. For example: If you have 2 numbers and want to bid with both numbers and it is a 2 quarter bid you must put $1 into the container, i.e. 2 quarters for each number you are bidding with.<\/p>\n

4. The bidding is closed and the money is collected.<\/p>\n

5. A number is pulled from a bucket filled with all the numbers.<\/p>\n

6. If your number is called and you bid on the item, you win it. If you DID NOT BID on the item another number is pulled and called. If there are 6 numbers pulled with NO BID, then the one closest without going over gets the auctioned item.<\/p>\n

There will be raffles of baskets filled with goodies. Each Vendor will be donating 1 item to be put in 1 large basket to be raffled off.
\nVendors will include: Pampered Chef, Longaberger Baskets, Cookie Lee Jewelry, Premier Jewelry, and many more. There will also be Gift cards donated by local merchants to be Auctioned off to benefit Aaron’s Journey.<\/p>\n

There are a limited number of tickets available, so please call to reserve yours (see contact information below).<\/p>\n

So start saving your quarters and come enjoy the evening. <\/p>\n
