About the Auction
At GNUUC, the Auction is more than just a fundraiser. We decorate, have food and entertainment, and have a great time! This year our theme is “Country Fair.”
We are planning for an outdoor Live Auction, so everyone can attend.
The Silent Auction will be indoors. However, all items can be bid on via the Auction phone app, which has photos.
Tickets will be $15 and include dinner and lemonade/tea, plus tickets for the carnival items. Children 12 and under are free but must have a child’s ticket to attend.
Food will be BBQ and sides. (Meat and Vegetarian - Ryan D. says he knows of a Jack Fruit recipe!)
This year we will also have a Country Fair as entertainment. There will be a tasting for Specialty Food in the auction, popcorn, shaved ice, carnival-type games with a prize table.
