Another way that we pitched in was to head the Silent Auction. That was really my job and I set everything up early Saturday.
These items were donated for the auction. Add to these the cross that Richard made and the quilt I made, See Such Fun. Every item was made by a local but well-known artisan. Well-known except for Richard and me, of course.
Though I don't know how much money the fair raised, I can say that I'm happy with the auction. The items would usually sell for much more, but the auction wasn't advertised as it was added only a week or so before the fair. One artist donated her work and suggested the auction, and in only a few days we had items from several people. I'm excited to find out how well the fair fared.

Hi Mary wow thats a lot of meals and gee i love the cross and your quilt is so pretty,i am sure alot of money was raised,well done xx
I hope your fair was successful and raised a lot of funds. If the amount of food was anything to go by it went really well.
Sheryl and Karen, the fair was quite successful. I figure that serving so many meals is exhausting mostly because I'm not used to handling so many plates. I assume that those who do this kind of work daily are in better shape and likely have a few shortcuts that I'd like to know.
