The auction is our SMGS’s largest source of funding for the year and is only as profitable as our donations and our bidders. We are asking donations of gourd supplies, books, raw gourds, finished gourd art, or anything else gourd and craft related! If you have questions or need to know where and when to drop off your donated items please contact: Nancy Amburgey namburgey4@gmail.com
AGAIN THIS YEAR!!! Instead of a single live auction on Saturday, we will be holding 4 Silent Auctions throughtout the weekend. Final bids will be called (1) Friday afternoon, (2) Saturday morning, (3) Saturday afternoon, and (5) Sunday afternoon. Silent bids for each auction will not start until after the close of the previous auction. Bids will be taken up to the moment of the final call, so don't miss out! Each day and each of the 4 auctions will feature different items. All items must be paid for and picked up by the end of Sunday. No items will be shipped.
We have some great artists that have volunteered to donate their gourd art this year and we know that you will have a problem deciding which gourd art you hope to win. We encourage you to join in the fun and excitement. Our gourd raffle is once again offering an impressive collection of gourd art. Tickets are $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00. Winners will be drawn on Sunday, but you need not be present to win. SMGS would like to thank these very talented artists for donating their wonderful gourd art to be raffled off at this year’s festival!
