This year’s main auction items will include handmade quilts, beef and pork meat packages, furniture, travel opportunities, artwork along with an original carving by Aaron Zook, and items donated by our patrons, CCS friends and area businesses. A special feature item at our auction this year are two time-share units at Silver Lake Resort in Kissimmee, FL. These units will be auctioned separately giving you a great chance to be the owner for one week every year.
Each class at CCS has designed a themed basket to be auctioned at 10:30 am. Some of the themes for this year’s baskets are: A Taste of Lancaster, Legos, Man’s Best Friend, Fitness, A Date for Every Month, College Bound, Disney, and the Great Outdoors.
The quilts will be auctioned at noon. They are a popular item sold at our auction. A lot of hard work has gone into these gorgeous quilts, even our elementary students helped tie the knots on one. Pictures and information on our quilts and other auction items are available on the school’s website at www.conestogachristhttp://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/pennsylvania/grings-millian.net.
