 UUCE Auction: Saturday, November 9, 2024
Doors open at 6:30 PM. Auction starts promptly at 7:15 PM.
"More fun than a barrel of monkeys!"

Welcome!

Our auction is an important fundraising event for the church and a great way to bring people together. Do you have a special talent, skill, or a unique service to offer? Can you host a dinner? Then you've come to the right place. If you have questions about the auction, you can reach us at auction@uuce.org.

Our last auction was so successful, we're going to use the same format:

  • This is a live auction.
  • A $10 entrance fee covers admittance, snack and dessert.
  • Beverages, including wine, beer and soda, will be available for a donation.
  • There will be raffles for beautiful and exciting baskets
  • The auctioneer is Joel Prestegaard of Prestegaard Auctioneering
  • As in our previous auctions, this is an adult event. No childcare will be provided.
  • Click on the yellow "donate" button below to enter your item.

    Entering Items Online

  1. Please put in an estimated value and minimum bid price – you know your item better than we do and we hate to guess!
  2. Capitalize all important words in the title (but not “and,” “the” or “by” for example).
  3. Make sure to check the box (Winner takes it home?) if your item is a “thing.”
  4. All descriptions should end with a period or exclamation points, even if the description is not a sentence.
  5. If you are hosting an event, please check the calendar and pick a date and time.
  6. Putting in a picture of your item is very, very helpful.
  7. Put your items in early if at all possible!
