Dinner
Dinner will be served by our 4-H Members so sit back and relax. There will be plenty of great food so don’t worry. The serving may start before all the silent auction tables close, but you can and are welcome to still bid on items during serving.
Desserts
The Desserts are on display at special tables, so check out all the wonderful goodies and desserts. This year the desserts will all be on a blind silent auction. You can make a sealed bid on the items you want and the highest bid will be announced with the winner. If you don't win right away, you can still put in a bid for the other desserts. All desserts can be taken home or shared at your table. 4-H will provide you with extra plates and silverware at the dinner tables.
Auctions
Silent Auction
The silent auction items are displayed on tables. Announcements will be made as to the closing of the silent auction tables. A few tables will close at different times. Remember to check back often to add your winning bid!
Live Auction
Following the desserts we will have the Live Auction. Any late items will be announced at the auction stand. You may view the live auction items on the front stage. Look for trips, ball game tickets, dinner and a Play, some lamb and pork for your freezer, and more! Printouts of the live auction items will be available on the dinner tables or ask the computer entry people for a copy.
Banking
After you have exhausted all your bidding on the silent, dessert, and live items you can check out at the bank for your bill and receipt. They will total up all the goodies you have won and after paying you can take your receipt to the silent auction area to collect your loot! New this year in 2017 we will be able to accept standard credit cards using Square. There will be an added processing fee to use credit cards, see the Bank for details.
Door Prize
A two night stay in Bass Lake! The door prize is an excellent closing to a fun evening. Drawing is from the collected dinner tickets so make sure that you have added your name to the back of your ticket and stick around as you must be present to win!
