Silent Auction Baskets
During the book fair on Saturday, we'll have tables set up displaying a number of exciting gift baskets - each filled to the brim with an assortment of goodies!
From 9:00am - 2:00pm you can stop by the tables and peruse the baskets. If you'd like to make a bid, there will be a sheet of paper in front of each basket to write down your information and bid amount.
Winners will be announced from 2:00pm - 3:00pm.
50% of the proceeds from the silent auction will go to support Teen Pact, a national non-profit that "seeks to inspire youth in their relationship with Christ and train them to understand the political process, value their liberty, defend the Christian faith, and engage the culture around them".
Can I donate a basket?
Absolutely! Just fill out the form below. Then grab a basket, find some goodies to put in it, and bring it to the venue on Saturday, September 6th, between 7:00am - 9:00am.
Your basket can be large, small, simple, elaborate, for men, women, children, and even pets! If you're a business, feel free to create baskets with gift cards, coupons, and merchandise from your store!
NOTE: Donated baskets must brought to the Denny Sanford Convention Center on Saturday, Sept. 6th from 7:00am - 9:00am unless otherwise arranged with Paula (paula@sdliteratureandlattes.com).
How do I bid on a basket?
There will be a sheet of paper in front of each basket to write down your information and bid amount.
When will the winners be announced?
At 2:00pm the auction will close and we'll announce the winner of each basket. Must be present to win - or able to pick up that afternoon from the venue.
