Originally our Auction was called a "Chinese Auction" for lack of a better term. We have since renamed it a "Chance" Auction, but it still operates in the same fashion as it has for years. Tickets are $1.00 (one dollar) each or 6 for $5.00(five dollars). Tickets will be sold on Saturday the 22 and Sunday the 23. The drawing of the winners will be held on Sunday the 23 at 4:45 and winners can pick up their items on Saturday the 29th.

 The Open Studio and Art Sale runs Saturday, November 22 and Sunday November 23 from noon to 5pm. We will also be open Saturday November 29 from noon to 5pm.

Come on out and enjoy the holiday atmosphere, art, good company and the exciting chance to win fine original art items!
