One of the
busiest places at
Hollis Old Home Days will be the
Silent Auction in the Lawrence Barn. People stop by to
place a bid, check that their bid is still the highest, and say
hello to friends and neighbors.
These days, everyone is looking for a great deal, and no seasoned bargain hunter will be able to resist our Silent Auction. It takes place on Saturday, Sept. 17 from 10:00am-5:00pm inside Lawrence Barn, next to Nichols Field. The names of the Silent Auction winners are announced over the Old Home Days loudspeaker at 7:30pm. If you are a winner, you can pay (cash or check, only) and pick up your item at the Lawrence Barn between 5:00pm-8:00pm. However, if you are not present when the winners are announced, that is no problem. The Lawrence Barn will be open again from 1:00pm-3:00pm on Sunday, Sept. 18 so that the remaining Silent Auction winners can pay and pick up their items.
The Silent Auction is our leading fund raiser for the year, helping us to bring Hollis Old Home Days to the community. Were planning to out-do ourselves this year with an amazing array of certificates, specialty items and beautiful baskets of goodies. In addition, the Hollis Art Society artists are donating pieces of their work to the auction.
To continue our successful fundraising efforts, we need your help. We hope we can count on your support for the Silent Auction as a donor or active bidder.
If you are a business or individual who would consider donating goods or services to the Silent Auction, please see our Silent Auction donation page. We greatly appreciate your support!
Hollis Old Home Days is an all-volunteer annual event, the largest Hollis get-together of the year, attended by thousands of Hollis residents. In addition to the Silent Auction, Old Home Days is primarily funded by business sponsorships and individual donations from the people of our community. The funds we raise mostly pay for the fireworks, but also for the equipment and supplies that make Old Home Days possible. This year's fund-raising goal is $10,000.
If your business would consider making a financial contribution of $250 (Silver Sponsor), $500 (Gold Sponsor), or $1000 (Platinum Sponsor) to Hollis Old Home Days, please see our sponsorship page for a description of the benefits we can provide to your business. Or, if you are an individual, please make a donation to help continue this beloved, long-standing Hollis tradition. You can donate with a credit card online (only takes two minutes!), or you can mail a check. Please visit our donation page for details.
In addition to the Silent Auction, please consider supporting Hollis Old Home Days with a purchase of a chocolate bar for $2 (you could win a $100 Golden Ticket!) and buying our Keeping Traditions Alive cookbook with almost 200 recipes contributed by the best cooks in Hollis. Your support is deeply appreciated!
