The Minnesota River Valley Audubon Chapter’s holiday auction is back Thursday, Nov.1 9 at Richardson Nature Center in Bloomington!
Monica Rauchwarter also returns as the head auctioneer, raising funds for MRVAC’s grant program.
The auction begins at 7 p.m. Come early 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. We’ll have vintage and brand new binoculars, scopes, donations from local grocery stores, artwork, birdhouses and feeders, wine baskets and even coupons for personal services. Doors open at 6 p.m. You can bring your items to be auctioned, too. Or just show up early and volunteer to be a runner or general helper. More info? Give one of the board members a shout or check out the upcoming Trumpeter newsletter. 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.
