Thursday, Aug. 25, at 5:30 p.m.—WEST PAWLET—The West Pawlet Volunteer Fire Department auction will be held Thursday, Aug. 25, at the West Pawlet Firehouse, Route 153 in West Pawlet. All of the items will be available to view starting at 4 p.m. The bidding action begins at 5:30 p.m. and ends when 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 for rapid-fire, staccato calls to entice folks to purchase the items they just know that they need to take home with them!
The auction is a charity event in support of the West Pawlet Volunteer Fire Department. The proceeds help cover the department’s general operating costs and much-needed equipment and training programs, both for new recruits and continuing education for long-time department member volunteers.
Food will be available for purchase: grilled burgers, hot dogs, french fried potatoes, sodas and bottled water.
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. Fire Chief Dave Hosley invites all to “come and bid until it hurts.” For more information, call 802-645-0158.
