St. Matthew’s Fall Festival
September 22 – 23, 2018
The letters have gone out to area business and now we ready to start collecting donations for the silent auction. Please note, the Festival is 2 weeks earlier this year. We are asking that donations be in by August 1st. We need time to organize and catalog the items.
Wish List
Please note that we want new items. Please leave price tags on items. We need to know the value for making the bid slips.
Idea of what we are looking for:
Single items: small appliances such as toasters, mixers, blenders, waffle irons, hair dryers. Other ideas included: designer purses, blankets and tool sets. We have been told we have not had enough items that would appeal to men.
Theme Baskets: Family fun night, games for a variety of different ages, bath items, baby items or baby shower basket, bridal shower basket, Minnesota items, grilling baskets, sports items, gift wrapping basket, wine, baking, holiday, home office and pet basket (dog or cat items) Does the idea of putting together theme basket seem overwhelming? Just give us the items and we can put the basket together.
Supplies: To run the silent auction booth we could also use the following supplies: stamps for thank you notes, paper for bid slips, clear basket covers (not the shrink wrap type). The basket covers are available at the dollar store. Large baskets for creating theme baskets (Please, no small baskets). Check the local thrift stores, garage/yard sales and your own closets. You can even return the basket from ones purchased last year.
PLEASE: No exercise equipment.
Let us know if you have any questions.

Silent Auction Chairperson.
