On May 26 th the Vernonia Hands On Art Center, the local non-profit arts and heritage support group, presents the eight annual Jr. Salmon Auction. The goal this year is to again push past the $2,000 mark in raised funds. A fundraiser for the Vernonia Schools arts program, the auction features the amazing salmon creations of Vernonia art students. The students are supplied with blank pressboard salmon on which to craft their own unique visions. In addition to salmon, students have worked their magic on small furniture items that will also be included in the auction. Beginning at 7:00 pm in the VHS Commons, the salmon will be auctioned off with a minimum starting bid of $10.00. Proceeds from the auction support Vernonia School Arts, Scholarships, and Hands On Art programs. Over $10,000 has been donated to the arts programs to date!
