The St. Patrick’s Day Auction
will be held this year on Sunday,
March 15, at 1 p.m. in Heppner.
Money raised at the auction
helps support the St. Pat’s
celebration, paying overhead
costs, such as advertising,
decoration and promotion as well
as entertainment and civic
improvements, said Delanne
Ferguson of the St. Patrick's
Committee • The auction
Committee
also
makes
contributions to the South
Morrow County Scholarship
Fund and to another local project
each year. In 1997 a donation
was made to People for the Pool.
This year some changes to the
auction will make it more
enjoyable for attendees, said
Ferguson. The auction itself will
continue to feature new and
antique items of distinct value.
Smaller and used items will be
sold in a "Country Store", where
bargain hunters should find good
deals, she said. There will also
be a "silent auction" for certain
items. Separate tickets will also
be sold for a fourth event, a
drawing on select items.
"The variety of events should
make
the
auction
more
interesting and shorten the actual
"live auction" time such that
participants don't have to spend
quite so many hours in
attendance to see the full
selection of items available,"
added Ferguson.
"Private citizens, as well as
merchants, are asked to think of
items they could donate to the
auction," she said. "Our various
communities support each other
in many ways, ‘bringing tourists
to the area for festivals and
events, and we all enjoy these
events ourselves as well."
Donors may call one of the
following numbers to make
arrangements for item pickup:
Dan or Doris Brosnan, 676-
5886; John Murray, 676-9631,
or Steve Rhea, 676-9922.
Anyone who would like to drop
off a donation may leave it at the
"Twice Upon A Time" Bookstore
in Heppner, or at Kuhn & Spicer
law officer in Hermiston.
The St. Patrick's full commit
tee will meet Tuesday, Feb. 3 at
5 p.m. at Kate’s Pizza.
