Project Running Gear

Saturday, February 4th - PROJECT RUNNING GEAR is a fundraiser in which all proceeds go towards the purchase of Running Gear for Fauquier Volunteer Fire and Rescue.  Come out and join us!  The event is held at Barrell Oak Winery just outside Marshall, VA from 6 to 9pm.  Prior to the event, tickets are $25 per person, at the door $30.  This ticket incudes dinner and one glass of wine.  During the evening there will be many Silent Auctions to entice your bid, and I will do a Live Auction for a few items.  Remember, as you bid even though you came for the dinner and wine, this is a fundraiser!  Barrell Oak Winery is not only providing the venue...but they are donating 10% of all wine sales during the evening.  So, if you are not a bidder...be a buyer and take home some wine.  Oh, I forgot to mention...there's a live band, too.   Hope to see you there...it will be a fun evening!!

Few new items for Jan 22 Auction

Good Morning to you on a crunchy, icey Saturday!  The State was smart yesterday and pre-treated the major highways, so this morning was no problem.  But watch out those side streets.

A few items came in yesterday for the auction tomorrow, so thought I would post a couple pics.  We start at Noon and should be finished before 3.  I will start on the side where the chairs are usually set up, but no chairs tomorrow....we will be "walking the line".

   

Spring Gift Fair- Mark Your Calendars

Yes, I am looking forward to Spring...aren't you?   I noticed this week that Daffodils are peeking thru the mulch and leaves we didn't rake.  Just before Christmas, we had a Last Minute Gift Fair in the Auction House.  If you missed it, you REALLY missed it!  20 Artisans set up with very interesting gift ideas. 
 

So, the Spring Gift Fair is scheduled for March 31^st from 10am to 3pm.

This will give you an opportunity to help the Easter Bunny fill those baskets(April 8). 

Also, shop for a special Mother’s Day gift for all of those Moms in your life (May 13^th). 

Oh, don’t forget Dad on June 17^th, I am sure there will be something just right for your men.

I hope you will join us....don't worry....I will be reminding you!
