All Yours For The Right Bid

As you know, I’m deeply indebted for the terrific job that CindyH does filling in for me while I’m on vacation. But saying thanks doesn’t seem to be enough. So I figured I’d post this photo (monster hat tip to Sue) of a fundraiser planned by the Festival at Sandpoint. Apparently, firefighters (6 of the above firemen) at the Sandpoint Fire Department are offering 2 full days of labor — 96 hours total — to the home or business that turns in the highest bid. And this is just one of the 180 silent and live auction items that you can bid on at Holly Eve Saturday. (Call for tickets at 265-4554 and see below for more information)

Question: Now, what could you do with six firefighters for 96 total hours?

‘Tis the official start of the holiday season - Holly Eve! A festive evening filled with extraordinary hors d’oeuvres from area restaurants, complimentary champagne or sparkling cider, and auction items a’plenty will be had by all who attend the Holly Eve gala, beginning at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday , Nov. 21 , in the Sandpoint Events Center. This year’s entertainment includes the Sandpoint High School Men’s Choir and Performing Choir, followed by on-stage performances from the Sandpoint Youth Orchestra and Danceworks. Silent auction and live auction proceeds benefit The Festival at Sandpoint, Community Cancer Services, Bonner Community Hospice, Pend Oreille Arts Council and the Panida Theater. Tickets are $25, available at Eve’s Leaves, Panhandle State Bank, and the Festival at Sandpoint office in the Power House building.
