June 6-9: Food and culture series
The quarter auction will help them raise funds for the trip and will also help them raise funds to host youths from Steamboat Springs next summer in Delaware, when they will travel around the state and experience diverse cultures.
Items to be auctioned off include baskets from Tastefully Simple, Jamberry Nails and Herbalife.
Upon arrival, participants will receive a numbered paddle and auction items will be on display with a bid price of one, two, three or four quarters.
As the items are presented, if participants want to bid, they will place the bid amount in a bowl and hold their paddle in the air. If the auctioneer picks a participant’s paddle number from the bucket of numbered balls, they win the item, walking away with an amazing product for only 25, 50 or 75 cents or $1.
Paddles are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Doors for the event will open at 6 p.m.
