Habitat For Humanity Annual Auction Community Calendar
Do you know what a microwave
potato baker is? It resembles a folded
potholder, and it helps microwaved
potatoes retain their moisture. It was
a hot item at the LaGrange County
Habitat for Humanity auction this
year. Several hundred were sold with a
starting price of $11.
That’s the beauty of this community-wide event. Area businesses and
individuals donate goods. Patrons
attend the auction and purchase items.
Both donators and patrons support the
mission of the local organization.
“I think that this year’s auction went very well,” Mont Arnold,
executive director, reported. “I was
shocked that the buggy went so high,
and we saw an increase in furniture and quilt bids as well. Overall
receipts were $53,900.”
Overall, bids were up this year
compared to last. This year’s highest
quilt price was $825 for the Lone Star
Autumn Quilt. The Queen buggy sold
for $6,000.
