The Chardon Heritage Committee is excited to announce our first Heritage House fundraising event. This Chinese Auction will occur, in conjunction with Chardon’s Old Glory Days, Friday July 3, 2009 through Saturday July 4, 2009. It will be held at the current log cabin on our historic square. You are invited to participate in a unique Chardon themed-display/basket Chinese Auction. This event is designed to highlight all local entrepreneurial interests as an annual attraction to Old Glory Days. It is your opportunity to creatively design a display basket about your business or make your own creation. Some suggestions would be a salon pampering basket, a professional services basket or an Italian cooking/spices basket. This event will be a fun addition to the already scheduled holiday weekend activities of music, bike decorating, parade, ice cream and children’s games. Tickets will be available at the door for $1.00/each or 6/$5.00. Basket displays can be delivered and set-up at the log cabin Thursday July 2, between 7-9:00pm. The log cabin will be open on 7/3/09 for tickets and basket display viewing 11:00am – 3:00pm and 6 – 9:00pm, during the band concert. Tickets and viewing will also be available 11:00am – 5:00pm., on 7/4/09. The drawing will immediately follow the 7/4/09 band concert. Winners need not be present. All proceeds will benefit the future Heritage House. We are asking you to support this auction event in one or more of the following ways:
- Showcase your business by donating a creatively designed basket describing your business or services. Any employees can assist in the theme and/or design of your donation. Perhaps a red, white and blue color scheme could be used. We will prominently display a chart of all participants.
- Participate in this event as a sponsor; your business name will be prominently displayed during the auction and in all advertisements.
- Volunteer to assist with this auction and/or join this Committee for a first-hand opportunity to be involved with our continued planning and fundraising.
We will acknowledge your involvement in our advertising, at www.chardonheritage.org, as well as during this and future fundraising events. Please respond to our web-site no later than July 1, 2009 with your intent to participate and your basket display plan. We will need to plan appropriate space. All basket displays should include a business card or contact name. Should you prefer to become a sponsor, your tax-deductible contribution or donation will greatly help the economic revitalization efforts of our local community. We will provide a receipt to all donors. We look forward to hearing from you and assisting in highlighting your business. Please contact our Committee with any questions. We hope you participate in this fun and distinctively Chardon event! |
