First Cedar Valley
Silent
Auction
Each year starting with our first Cedar Valley Homecoming a
large number of folks have gathered at the Dining Hall to swap old stories and
momentoes of our days at Cedar Valley and Eastern Arkansas Area Council. And it
seems, at some point, the conversations turn to "Why don't we have an auction?"
So we are going to finally do it! Dust off the old dups and stuff cluttering
the closet, sort it out and bring it on to Homecoming!
We honestly have
no idea what to expect so the sky is the limit. Here's the ground rules. This
will be a SILENT AUCTION. Each seller will put their items out for display on
at table with a "bid sheet". Bidders walk around and bid by writing down a bid.
If someone tops your bid, you can go back and write down a new bid amount. At
an appointed time, all bidding stops. We will have a staff team running the
auction who will assign bid sheets, bidder numbers, total bids and handle cash
at the end.
Each seller will pay $5.00 (total) to put items in the
auction. At the end all money from the bids go to the owner of the items sold.
Bidders only pay for the items that they win. So where does the $5.00 go? We
will hopefully make enough to fund a campership for a Boy Scout in our part of
Quapaw Area Council to go to Summer Camp!
The only limitation we will
have is that all items in the auction must be related to Boy Scouting in
Eastern Arkansas Area Council or Quapaw Area Council. That could be camp
patches, OA patches, mugs, neckerchiefs; just so long as it's Scout related. We
tentatively plan to setup and start the auction right after lunch on Saturday
and conclude it in about 2 hours. That will give everyone a chance to
participate and still be a brief time. So if this sounds like something you
would enjoy, see the details in the link below and let
