Auction Information

Quilts in the past have auctioned for anywhere between $25 and $20,000. Lance Larsen, a professional auctioneer from Cordova, Neb., is volunteering his time to auction the quilts. Select quilts will be available through the Silent Auction. Bidding will open for the Silent Auction Friday, July 29 at 9 a.m. and close Saturday, July 30 at 1:30 p.m. Silent Auction items will be available for pick up after 3 p.m.

 

Live Auction bidding will start at 9:30 a.m. The Live Auction quilts will be displayed with numbered cards indicating the order in which they will be auctioned. Bidders can approximate when their favorite quilts will be up for auction. The cards also include information about the quilt donor and the size, type, and design of the quilt.

Although this is an outdoor event, pets are not allowed.
