Hess Auctioneers will oversee the live auction portion. “Our main auction time is on Friday,” said Eric Stone, incoming auction chair and a member of the auction committee. “We have auctions for teacher experiences, where kids get to go with a teacher and do something fun. Each class also puts together a basket, so
they will be sold Friday night. We have vacation getaways up for auction and different experiences around the community that businesses have donated.” On Saturday, the event will kick off with an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet beginning at 8 a.m., followed by live auctions starting at 9 a.m. “Saturday’s auctions feature home décor, tools and sports memorabilia,” Stone said. Also on Saturday, Kids Fest will
be held on the soccer fields at the school from 9 a.m. to noon. “We’ll have a variety of carnival-type games. It’s student run, and the proceeds will go toward the National Honor Society,” Norris said. Kids Fest will also feature a dunk tank, cotton candy and snowcones.
