OGDENSBURG -- The Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center Auxiliary will go online to auction off about 25 decorated Christmas trees tonight (Thursday, Dec. 2) and Friday.
To participate, the first thing you must do is like the Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center Auxiliary Facebook Page. This way you won’t miss a thing! All festival posts will be seen on the Facebook page.
There will be no invite required. The event is open to everyone.
Half the trees will be auctioned on Thursday and the other half on Friday. Pick up information will be announced during the events.
Bidding begins promptly at 7 p.m. both nights. CHMC Auxiliary representatives will go live before 7 p.m. to do a walk-through of the items up for bid that evening.
To bid, watch the comments section and type the word “TREE” and the number of the tree you are interested in along with your bid amount. The highest bids will be “liked” as they come in so bidders will know the highest accepted bid.
Winners will be invoiced with payment instructions and pick up instructions.
Meanwhile, bidding on a Virtual Silent Auction – featuring more than 100 baskets filled with holiday goodies – ends at 9 p.m. tonight (Dec. 2).
To bid, visit the Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center Auxiliary Facebook page and comment on the picture of the item you wish to bid on and be sure to include bid amount and your email address.
Subsequent bids must be in whole dollar increments.
Once the auction is over, winning bidders will be acknowledged in the comments section of the item they won.
The winners will also be contacted by email with information regarding payment and pick up times.
There will also be raffles to benefit the Festival of the Trees.
The winning ticket for a Lottery Board with a value of $500, donated by America 1 Realty/Rhonda Roethel, will be drawn drawn Dec. 3. Tickets are $5 each or 5/$20.
Drawing for a Handmade Quilt, “Gnome for the Holidays,” donated by and quilted by Diane Dailey, will be held on Saturday, Dec. 4. Tickets are $2 each or 3/$5.00.
All monies raised will help fulfill our Auxiliary pledge to CHMC.
