Dan Fischer just told me that he'll be posting more items this afternoon.

Merchants who still wish to participate have until tomorrow to contact WBTA.

Several neat items available this Saturday in WBTA's auction.

• YMCA Camp Hough
• Casino bus trip
• Martin's Fantasy Island
• Tim Horton's coffee mugs
• A Mother's Day brunch
• Party at The Gravel Pit
• Plenty of booze and food

Having run these type of auctions before, events/places-to-go always do well, especially in the spring, so bid early and bid often (or bid high).

Too bad you can't bid online.

UPDATE: No online word on who won what items, but the next auction is June 6.
