Legion to host quarter auction Sunday

[September 28, 2013]  On Sunday, the American Legion auxiliaries at New Holland (Unit 715) and Middletown (Unit 672) are hosting a quarter auction, bag raffle and silent auction at Lincoln American Legion 263, 1740 Fifth St.

Approximately 20 companies will offer merchandise in a vendors' fair beginning at noon, including Tupperware, Babyations, Pink Zebra, Origami Owl, Velata, Avon, Perfectly Posh, It Works!, Beauty Control, Gourmet Cupboard, Scentsy, Paparazzi Accessories, LoveN Spoonful Cupcakes, Judy Jewlz, Organo Gold, Lia Sophia, 31 and Tastefully Simple.

A bag raffle, silent auction and quarter auction will begin at 2 p.m., and 50-50 raffle tickets will be sold during the afternoon.

The purpose of the event is to raise funds for Sharon Conatser, of Urbana, candidate for 2015-2016 national president of the American Legion Auxiliary. It has been 45 years since a candidate has been selected to represent Illinois at the national level. Local auxiliaries want to show their support and stand behind the Illinois candidate by raising campaign funds at this event. Conatser will be in attendance to thank auxiliary members and greet visitors at the event.

With the holidays coming soon, those attending may want to take advantage of the multiple vendors and unique auction items available to shop for loved ones on their Christmas list. Gather some friends, come to shop and bid.
