St. Pats Auction has
something for everyone
“Something for everyone” seems the motto again this
year for the St. Pat’s A uction crew - the Parent-Teacher Club
m em bers- and the list of donations to this fundraiser supports
that claim . On Friday, M arch 12 at 7 p.m. even leprechauns
will w ant to join the festive event, upstairs at the Elks Club.
(The building features an elevator, so climbing stairs will not be
necessary.) Proceeds from the auction will help to fund next
y e a r’s w eekend celebration. Parent-T eacher C lub projects,
and the H eppner C ham ber o f C om m erce program s.
Joe Lindsay, a local young m an w ho writes m uch of
his repertoire, will entertain browsers and bidders with his music
and hum or before and during the auction. A bonus during the
evening will be the eagerly anticipated first draw ing for $ 100
from the “pot o ’ gold,” so at least one o f H ep p n e r’s fam ous
leprechauns will surely be nearby. (For a chance at a “pot o ’
gold,” a person must buy a com m em orative button.)
Som e o f the item s that Ken G rieb will auction that
evening will be on view in the Heppner TV Office window, but
m any m ore will also tem pt the bidders at the silent and live
auctions. A returning attraction this year will be a table o f raffle-
ticket items, som ething for m ost any age.
Several packages will be featured at the w ee bit o ’
bidders’ blowout this year, packages of pampering and pleasure
for both m en and w om en, packages for the sports-m inded,
packages for the persons w ho w ant to “get away.” And many
large and small individual items aw ait the crow d, as well, so
everyone will w ant to sign in early enough to get a b id d e r’s
num ber before the fun begins at 7.

Anderson. “The Elks pick up
