Silent Auction

Here is a link to the Silent Auction Donation form in
Word format.
The Silent Auction is one of the finest features of
the show. It is a showcase for talents of the generous
members and bees. Contributions range from
wall hangings, large quilts, quilt blocks, and materials
to make crazy quilts and quilt racks and
frames. There are many items on which buyers
can bid.
For guild members, it is an opportunity to
acquire items made by fellow members of the
guild. For buyers who love quilted items, but do
not participate in this craft, it is a chance to obtain
high-quality art work that matches or exceeds
what is available in gift shops in both the workmanship
and beauty.
Buyers can view and submit written bids on
items throughout the show; however, select items
will be sold each of the three days of the show.
The items will be color-coded by day. In the event
two or more bidders are interested in continuing
to bid on an item beyond the posted bid closing
time, they may enter into a verbal bidding
process. To do this, all interested bidders must be
present at the Silent Auction booth at bid closing
time (no exceptions) and they must have entered a
written bid on the bid sheet. Verbal bidding will
continue until only one bidder remains. Unless
two or more bidders are present, the item will be
sold to the top written bid as represented on the
bid sheet.
The sale closes at 5 pm on Friday and
Saturday and 3:30 pm on Sunday. The successful
bidders are notified by phone.
Bidders can pick up their items the day after
the close of the sale or make arrangements to get
their selection. If the items are not picked up
within a week of the show, the second highest
bidder will be notified.
The Silent Auction is one of the top five
largest money-making projects for the show so
continued support by both those who give and buy
is needed.
