Community Invited to Fairmount’s 35th Annual Benefit Auction
Fairmount’s 35th Annual Benefit Auction is set for Saturday, September 14, 2024. This year’s auction will be held in-person at New Covenant Mennonite Fellowship, 529 E. Farmersville Rd. in New Holland. Proceeds from this year’s annual event will benefit the Sharing Fund, which goes toward the cost of care for residents who have exhausted their financial resources. Your contributions are greatly appreciated.
The day is set to begin at 6:30am with the opening of the flea market and a country breakfast (by donation) that includes eggs, bacon, sausage, French toast, orange juice, and much more. Homemade donuts and coffee will be available for sale as well, and food stands will open shortly after breakfast.
The live auctions will open at 9am that day, including a Silent Auction featuring Dining for Dollars events, which closes at 1:30pm, and a Children’s Auction beginning at 1:45pm. Items can be picked up by winning bidders until 4pm that day.
There are plenty of exciting activities for children as well, including a barrel train ride, a bouncy house, and the always-popular helicopter candy drop, weather permitting.
Auction items include quilts, theme baskets, gift certificates, new furniture, specialty Items, lawn furniture and plants. A Quality Assurance Certified Angus steer will be auctioned in eighths again this year. For anyone who cannot attend the Auction, an absentee bid form is available at the Wheat Ridge front desk.
Thank you to our generous sponsors!
