Children’ s Auction Friday, December 7
The 41 st Annual Brown County Children’ s Auction will take place on Friday, December 7 at 6 p. m.( doors open at 5 p. m.) at the Out of the Ordinary restaurant located in the center of Nashville on Van Buren Street, across from the Brown County Playhouse.
Some people gathered on the Liars’ Bench in downtown Nashville many years ago to discuss ways to provide needed warm winter clothes for the all the children in the Brown County school system. They decided to collect items from local merchants and hold an auction for funds to buy the clothing. The group called themselves the“ No-Name Committee” and the auction has been held on the first Friday in December since 1979.
This annual auction has helped many Brown County youngsters with more than $ 600,000 total in clothing. The auction features donated art, crafts, antiques, goods from local merchants, gift certificates
for local restaurants and hotels, and many other items. Local bakers contribute homemade cookies and prize-winning brownies. This year the FFA Retreat Center in Trafalgar, Indiana has donated an overnight stay for up to 20 people, valued at $ 1,000. Other items up for bid are tickets to the Indianapolis Zoo, the Cincinnati Reds, Holiday World, and Mega Caverns in Louisville. Donations for the auction can be dropped off at Out of the Ordinary, the PNC Bank, or the Visitors Center. •
