Auction items many and varied ; I è|ÉÌ i St. Patrick's Celebration auction items on display in the Heppner TV window By Debbie Harper This year's St. Patrick's Day auction will be held Friday, March 15, upstairs at the Elks Club. There will be snacks, a no-host bar and live music. Joe I.indsay's a cappella quartet. Somebody Else, will be singing throughout the night. Joe, Cory and Stacie Cooley and Bill Mayclin sing “a little bit o f everything, do w op, country, barbershop'*. There are both live and silent auctions. Ken Grieb is the auctioneer for the live auction. Items are many and \aried. There are a lot of packages-Blazer games. Wild Horse overnight, Inn o f the Seventh Mountain condo stay and men’s and women's indulgence packages from local merchants. Maryann Elguezabal and family are donating a 10-person Mexican dinner. There's also a new lawn mower, shop vac. hand) man jack and a karaoke cassette recorder. The silent auction has a variety too, with books, soda pop, statues and candles. And don’t forget, Rick Drake is auctioning otfhis hair. The auction started as an idea from Pat Sweeney, who suggested a celebrity auction. Cara Osmin and Ann Spicer wrote celebrities for donations. At that time Frank Bettencourt o f Triad Auction in Arlington was the auctioneer. Originally the auction was held Saturday afternoon under a tent on Willow Street between the old Wagon Wheel Cafe and the St. Patrick s Senior Center. As the years went on. the auction started getting more items from the community and it slowly migrated to donated items rather than celebrity things. It also moved to the Neighborhood Center parking lot, but was still under that tent. In 1995 Doris Brosnan agreed to take over the helm. The auction moved from Saturday to Sunday afternoon and was held at the fairgrounds for the first time. About three years ago the committee started putting packages together, and last year it was moved to Friday night at the Flks Club. t his year Kay Fowler and John and Ann Murray are the auction chairs. I hc money generated from the auction has gone to many community activities over the years. Some money is always returned to the St. Patrick's Day celebration but money has also gone toward scholarships for south Morrow County graduates, the Heppner swimming pool and the playground equipment in the Heppner City Park. “One year we ga\ e money for Christmas decorations. W e've always tried to gi\e hack to the community.” said past committee person Cara Osmin.
