REMINDER - AUCTION DATE IN NEARING - -

West Pawlet Volunteer Fire Department Auction

The West Pawlet Volunteer Fire Department auction date is approaching. It will be held Thursday August 21st at the West Pawlet Firehouse, Route 153, West Pawlet, Vermont. The auction event begins at 6:00 p.m. and it does not end until all items are gone.

Auctioneer for the event will be Chriss Mars, son of the late famous Vermont auctioneer Bus Mars who taught his son well the tradition of presenting an entertaining Vermont auction. Chriss will use his talent of using rapid-fire, staccato calls to entice folks to purchase the products they know that they need to take home with them! Many bargains, including assorted antiques, tools, tables, dressers, mirrors, an old school desk, knick-knacks, glassware, toys and more arrive daily and await shoppers. All of the items are available to view starting at 5:00 p.m. before the auction bidding action begins at 6:00 p.m.

The auction is a charity event in support of the West Pawlet Volunteer Fire Department. The proceeds from donated items help the department’s general operating costs and for much-needed equipment and training programs, both for new recruits and continuing education for long-time department member volunteers. Donated items for the auction are still being gladly accepted by the department. Please be in touch with the department should you need assistance getting items to the auction site.

Food will be available for purchase to whet your appetite to enable you to shop better as you endeavor to keep ahead of Chriss’ banter and beat out other bidders for the items you just know that you need! The fire department’s food menu includes grilled burgers, hot dogs and French fried potatoes. Sodas and bottled water are also on the menu.

The auction promises to be a fun evening with good food and bargains all-in-one, said Dave Hosley, chief of the fire department. He invites all to “come and bid until it hurts”.
