Disaster Ministries Auction - May 18-19
The 20th annual Shenandoah District Disaster Ministries Auction gets under way Friday, May 18, and continues through Saturday, May 19. There is something for everyone!
The golf tournament tees off Friday morning at Heritage Oaks Golf Course in Harrisonburg.
Then, the activity shifts to the Rockingham County Fairgrounds (4808 S. Valley Pike, Harrisonburg) where crafts, plants, baked goods and miscellaneous items will be on sale starting at 1 p.m. The ever-popular oyster and country ham dinner begins at 3 p.m. The livestock auction starts at 6:15 p.m. in the livestock barn; an auction of art, furniture and handwork is set for 6:15 p.m. in the main exhibit building.
On Saturday, come for breakfast - made-to-order omelets or pancakes with sausage gravy - beginning at 7 a.m. Worship at 8:45 a.m. precedes the main auction, featuring handmade furniture and quilts. Plate lunches and a la carte food items will be available, and, at 1 p.m., the auction of theme baskets is scheduled.
Last year's auction netted more than $221,000 - a record! In the first 19 years of the event, $3.26 million has been raised to support volunteers who respond to the needs of our neighbors.
Come to enjoy the food and the fellowship and show your support for the good work being done by Brethren Disaster Ministries!
