The Minnesota River Valley Audubon Chapter’s holiday auction returns this year Thursday, Nov. 14 at Richardson Nature Center in Bloomington!
The auction begins at 7 p.m. Come any time after 6 p.m. to drop off your items to be auctioned, get first pick on low-priced books, get your bidding strategies down, and socialize a bit. There will be snacks and drinks and of course lots of really nifty things up for grabs. Doors open at 6 p.m. The auction ends at 9 p.m. Cash and checks accepted.
Books? Yep, dozens including many different nature topics and some field guides. Art? You bet. There will be bird houses, feeders, and birdseed. Vortex, the optics folks, have donated a nice set of birding binoculars, too.
You can bring your items to be auctioned, too. Or just show up early and volunteer to be a runner or general helper. You also can give one of the board members a shout at MRVAC.ORG. All the proceeds will go toward MRVAC’s grant program, which helps fund local conservation education and birding projects. For more information, check out mrvac.org/news. MRVAC is a 501 (c)(3) organization.
