Our silent auction includes incredible artwork - photography, paintings, glass, sculptures and more; outstanding getaways; gift certificates for restaurants and services; unique opportunities and experiences right here in our community and around the country; items for the home; beautiful and creative jewelry; and golf and sports items. We will be posting additional information on our website over the next couple of weeks as we prepare for the festivities.   

 

This year we are introducing touch-pad bidding, generously sponsored by Sanderson Lincoln. In addition to seeing the items in person, our guests will be able to browse the auction items and then track their bids from anywhere in the venue on touch pads or their smart phones.   

 

We can't wait to celebrate land conservation and share this special evening with our supporters. We are grateful to the sponsors, ticket purchasers, volunteers and donors who have made this wonderful event possible!
