Baskets

We usually have a lot of great baskets in our auction.  We get a lot of small items and someone has to create a value for those items.  This value is created by volunteers who create great baskets from all of the donated goods.  We can always use larger woven baskets, even new plastic baskets can be used to create great baby or what we call “Grandma Baskets” which have all kinds of items for kids and Grandma’s really like them to give to their grandchildren or give as gifts.

High-End Items

We also have a selection of high-end collectible and autographed items.  If you collect sports, music or miscellaneous memorabilia, you should consider attending our event.

What a great way to support ACT, a very worthy non-profit agency providing day care services for disabled individuals.
