Donate for Fall Festival's silent auction

The Fall Festival is coming soon--Saturday, October 20th.  One of our traditions for the festival is an auction.  Years ago it was a pie auction with a live auctioneer.  But without an auctioneer among us any longer we've switched to a silent auction, and we've expanded our auction items to include more than just pies (although baked goods are still wonderful auction items!).  We hope you'll consider donating some things for us to sell at the auction.  And just to entice you to come to the festival with money, here's a list of the items people have already promised to bring:
-a handmade quilt
-a handmade baby afghan
-a $100 gift certificate to The Little Fountain restaurant
-homemade picante sauce
-homemade gingerbread
-handmade scarves
-baskets of handmade soaps and other natural care products
-some vegetable-themed trivets
-a wool sweater
-coupons for bread
-a farm-themed children's book
-a large framed Clagett Farm photo

The festival will be from noon to 4pm, but we'll end the auction at 2:30pm.
We'll also have a potluck lunch (noon to 2pm), hayrides (1:15pm and 3pm), hikes through the woods (1pm and 3pm), live bluegrass music (12:30-2:30pm), and we'll be prepping garlic for planting thoughout if you feel like taking a seat and lending a hand. 

Once again, the festival is free and open to everyone. 
Hope to see you there!
-Carrie
