IT’S THAT time of year again when the bargain hunters head to town for the Allora Community Auction at the showgrounds from 8am on Sunday – and all in a good cause.
Now in it’s 41st year, the event will see approximately two hundred volunteers from thirty local charities work together booking goods in, assisting the auctioneers and feeding the crowds.
The hours worked by the various charity members are added up and the profits are divided accordingly with about forty per cent of total sales going to the charities.
Throughout Sunday numerous auctioneers will work throughout the day with three operating at a time.
In conjunction with the sale, there will be many market stalls offering a variety of goods.
Bookings are already open for both market stalls and items for auction.
To book a market stall, email June Bool at sapphireview@hotmail.com or on 0408 797701. Stall holders must show current public liability insurance.
To book your items in for auction call Shirley Cornhill on 0427 100 210, but hurry as numbers are limited.
Items will be received 8am-4pm Friday and 8am-3pm Saturday.
Bidding cards will be available from the auction office from 6am Sunday (ID is required). Payment for auction goods to be made by cash, cheque or Eftpos (fees apply).
Bring the family but dogs won’t be allowed on the grounds.
The auction will be held at the Allora Showgrounds on Sunday 12 June beginning at 8am, and organisers are expecting a huge crowd of sellers, buyers and families enjoying a great day out.
So come along, grab a bargain and support our local charities.
